If you like Fourier, you're going to love Laplace (or its discrete counterpart, the z transform).

This took me down a very fascinating and intricate rabbit hole years ago, and is still one of my favorite hobbies. Application of Fourier, Laplace, and z transforms is (famously) useful in an incredibly wide variety of fields. I mostly use it for signal processing and analog electronics.

Then there's the whole mindfuck of fractional order Fourier (and other) transforms.
