Does Fourier Series have any application related to computer science?

We have Fourier Series and several other chapters like Fourier Integral and Transforms, Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations in my Course.

I am pursuing Bachelors Degree in Computer Science & Engineering. Never being fond of mathematics I am little curios to know where this can be useful for me.

Fourier transform is one of the brilliant algorithms and it has quite a lot of use cases. Signal processing is the significant one among them.

Here are some use cases:

  1. You can separate a song into its individual frequencies & boost the ones you care for
  2. Used for compression (audio for instance)
  3. Used to predict earth quakes
  4. Used to analyse DNA
  5. Used to build apps like Shazam which predict what song is playing
  6. Used in kinesiology to predict muscle fatigue by analysing muscle signals. (In short, the signal frequency variations can be fed to a machine learning algorithm and the algorithm could predict the type of fatigue and so on)

I guess, this will give you an idea of how important it is.
