Someone has made the perfect video for all of us who suffer trying to understand the Fourier Transform

by

The Fourier transform It is a fundamental mathematical operation for some disciplines such as telecommunications or physics. Without it, modern telecommunications would not exist, not only the Internet or mobile telephony, but also conventional telephony, which could not have evolved beyond a form of local communication and long distance calls would not have existed.

Although this mathematical operation owes its name to the mathematician Joseph Fourier, the truth is that many have contributed to its invention, including Euler, Bernoulli, Lagrange and Gauss. Fourier played an essential role, inventing the Fourier series, where a periodic function could be decomposed into the sum of trigonometric functions. The Fourier transform generalizes this concept.

The GSMA paves the way for the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona to be held in person: it has reached an agreement with the Government of Spain to circumvent travel restrictions in the event that international travelers come to the MWC in Barcelona.

The MWC 2021 in Barcelona is approaching and the plans of the GSMA continue forward: face-to-face event with part of the online activities. There are already a few companies that fell out of the congress, but, as confirmed by the GSMA, organizer of the MWC, it continues as planned.

‘Adventure’, Atari and the developer who wanted to be recognized

by

Today we are more than used to Easter Eggs (or Easter eggs) in video games. For example, in ‘The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings’ we can find an assassin from’ Assassin’s Creed ‘stamped on the ground, in’ The Division ‘we can find all the weapons of the Ninja Turtles hidden around the map and in’ PUBG ‘there is the’ we have been deceived ‘meme. It’s custom, a nice custom, and the truth is that its origin is the most peculiar (and ancient).

How old? Well, we have to go back to nothing more and nothing less than 1979. At that time Warren Robinett was working at Atari, specifically in the development of ‘Adventure’. If you have seen ‘Ready Player One’ the game will surely sound familiar to you, since it is the last test that the protagonist must overcome to take over the property of James Halliday. The history of this Easter Egg is the most peculiar, so let’s get to know it.
