| Jul 16, 2012 at 15:35 | comment | added | Juan Bermejo Vega | No, no, I also agree on using fourier-analysis as main tag. I already voted. I was just commenting on @TsuyoshiIto point of view. | |
| Jul 16, 2012 at 15:30 | comment | added | Kaveh Mod | @Juan, we can make fourier-trasnform a synonym if we decide to go with something else. Are you suggesting it as the main tag? (if so could you please post it as an answer?) | |
| Jul 16, 2012 at 13:05 | comment | added | Juan Bermejo Vega | Still, people from other fields who work with Fourier transforms and are focused on their applications could also be confused about this point. Perhaps if we also had a tag for Fourier transforms people would use it naturally. | |
| Jul 16, 2012 at 12:59 | comment | added | Juan Bermejo Vega | Fourier analysis is a very general terms and it is in use in mathematics: for sure, it encompasses (continues or discrete) Fourier transforms (cf wikipedia); it is also a MO tag. Since it looks like we are mostly quantum people in the thread, I guess the term can sound peculiar to us since we are used to think of the Fourier transforms as gates used in quantum algorithms (or applications for information processing in general). | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 13:33 | comment | added | Tsuyoshi Ito | @Kaveh: Continuous vs discrete is fine, but tagging Fourier transform as [fourier-analysis] sounds a little confusing to me, at least until I get used to it. But I do not have a strong opinion. | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 7:20 | comment | added | Suresh Venkat Mod | I think fourier-transform is a little more localized to the actual transform itself. | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 6:23 | comment | added | Kaveh Mod | @Tsuyoshi, I think Fourier analysis does encompasses both continuous and discrete cases: 1, 2, ... we can also consider fourier-transform :) | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 4:56 | comment | added | Suresh Venkat Mod | If you can ask a question about Fourier's favorite singer and have it not be closed, I will concede :) | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 2:44 | comment | added | Tsuyoshi Ito | Oh, no. Then I cannot add the tag to a question asking about Joseph Fourier’s favorite singer! Joke aside, I am not sure if I am comfortable with tagging a question about discrete Fourier transform with [fourier-analysis], although they are related. | |
