Began chapter 4, getting formula for general (possibly aperiodic) signal x(t) = (1/2 \pi) \int X(jw) exp(jwt) dt where X(jw) is the Fourier transform X(jw) = \int x(t) exp(-jwt) dw. Computed several Fourier transforms. Introduced sinc function, as Fourier transform of square pulse. Noted the duality in computing Fourier/inverse Fourier transforms so that the Fourier transform of a sinc function is a square pulse. Obtained elementary properties (linearity, time-shift, conjugate) - their effect on the Fourier transform.
