๐น๏ธ Practice arcade
Extra games, not extra homework โ timed sprints, survival runs that end when your lives run out, and mastery drills built from the same skills Fourier Analysis teaches.
โก Sprints
Beat the clock.
๐ Orthogonality & Coefficients Sprint
Evaluate a sine/cosine orthogonality integral, then the mean-value coefficient $a_0$ it feeds into -- both in one run.
๐ Fourier Series Family Sprint
A sine-series ramp coefficient, a square wave's odd harmonic, or a complex coefficient's magnitude -- three faces of the same series.
๐ Gibbs Overshoot Sprint
Apply the course's own Gibbs constant (8.95% of the jump) to predict the partial-sum overshoot, as many times as you can.
โก Parseval & Bessel Energy Sprint
Sum a Fourier series' full energy by Parseval, or find how much energy the higher harmonics must still account for by Bessel.
๐ Fourier Transform Basics Sprint
A pulse's DC value, a time-shift's phase angle, or a Gaussian's own transform -- the transform's core moves, back to back.
๐ Convolution Sprint
Find two rectangular pulses' overlap height at $t=0$, or multiply magnitudes straight from the convolution theorem.
๐๏ธ Sampling, DFT & FFT Sprint
The Nyquist rate, a sampled signal's apparent frequency after aliasing, a DFT's DC bin, or the FFT's own $N\log_2N$ operation count.
๐ช Even/Odd & Inner Product Sprint
Collapse a symmetric-interval integral using even/odd symmetry, then build a function inner product straight from its definition.
๐ Norms & Orthonormal Family Sprint
A rectangular pulse's $L^1$ or $L^2$ norm, or a scaled family member's own norm on $[-\pi,\pi]$ -- three faces of "how big is this function."
๐ Uniform Convergence Sprint
Find the sup-norm bound that decides whether a function sequence converges uniformly -- two of the course's own worked examples, back to back.
๐ฏ Orthogonal Projection Sprint
A Fourier coefficient is just an orthogonal-projection ratio -- divide the inner product by the basis function's own squared norm, $\pi$.
๐ก๏ธ Heat & Wave Modes Sprint
The heat equation's per-mode decay rate, or a vibrating string's own standing-wave frequency -- separation of variables' two payoffs.
๐ Harmonic Spacing Sprint
As the period grows, the Fourier series' harmonic spacing $\omega_0=2\pi/T$ shrinks toward the continuous spectrum -- find it fast.
โก Differentiation & Delta Sprint
Apply $i\omega$ twice for a second derivative's transform, or apply the delta's sifting property directly -- three fast closed forms.
๐ Inverse DFT & Conjugate Symmetry Sprint
Recover a time-domain sample from DFT bins, or use conjugate symmetry to find a real signal's mirrored bin without recomputing it.
๐ Circulant & Circular Convolution Sprint
A circulant matrix's own DC eigenvalue, or the discrete convolution theorem's magnitude product -- the DFT's matrix-algebra side.
๐ผ๏ธ Multidimensional Transform Sprint
A separable 2D transform's product form, or a 2D DFT's own DC bin -- the same one-dimensional facts, one axis at a time.
๐ฒ Characteristic Functions Sprint
An Exponential's or Normal's own characteristic function magnitude, or the independence product rule $\varphi_{X+Y}=\varphi_X\varphi_Y$.
๐ CLT Approximation Sprint
Evaluate the CLT derivation's own finite-$n$ approximation $(1-t^2/2n)^n$, the exact quantity that converges to $e^{-t^2/2}$.
๐ Survival
Each miss costs a life โ lose them all and the run ends.
๐ฏ Mastery
No clock โ just get N in a row.
