What Is the Fourier Transform?

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.

Years ago, I often struggled to choose between Amazon products with high ratings from a few reviews and those with slightly lower ratings but a large volume of reviews. I used the Laplace Rule of Succession to code a browser extension to calculate Laplacian scores for products, helping to make better decisions by balancing high ratings with low review counts. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/443773-amazon-ranking-lapl...

While this is a good idea, I think it's unrelated to the Laplace transform except that they're named after the same dude?
