Talk:Fourier theorem

The article says that "...Fourier theorem is a theorem stating that a periodic function f(x), which is reasonably continuous, may be expressed as the sum of a series of sine and cosine terms..." However, "reasonably continuous" is not a mathematical term. I don't know what the author meant by that.

Merging with Fourier Series
It seems to me like there not much in this article that isn't already explained in the Fourier series article. And as noted above, this article is a tad ambiguous and doesn't make any precise statements about Fourier series or anything. I would recommend it be merged with Fourier series or just removed entirely. But I won't do anything until I hear from other editors. --Paul Laroque (talk) 01:43, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Fourier analysis
I deleted the rather strange assertion that the application to sound is called "Fourier analysis" and "Fourier synthesis. Fourier analysis, as the term is usually used, encompasses virtually all of the mathematics, regardless of whether it is applied to sound or to seasonal time series, or to recurrence of random walks, or to number theory, or to anything else.
