May 10, 2012 at 15:35 comment added Papiro "The subject of the decomposition of an arbitrary function into the sum of functions of special types has many fascinations. No student of mathematical physics, if he possess any soul at all, can fail to recognize the poetry that pervades this branch of mathematics. The great work of Fourier is full of it, although there only the mere fringe of the subject is reached. For that very reason, and because the solutions can be fully realised, the poetry is more plainly evident in cases of greater complexity" Oliver Heaviside, On the self-induction of wires, Part III, p.201, Electrical Papers,1894
