Well, the point that with very simple building blocks, very complex things can be built is understood. But, what about Fourier? He discovered this like 300 hundred years ago: with sine and cosine functions you can generate any signal you can possible imagine, very complex ones (all physical signals). I have scanned from preface through chapter 4 and I didn't find any reference to him.

What Fourier did does not count?

Hector

Hello Hector,

It is in the notes for chapter 4 on page 917 and 1074 under the discussions on "Many sine functions" and "Fourier transforms".
