Your task has two parts to it:

First you will have to familiarize yourself with the process of Fourier Transform by starting off reading the "Guide" tab above. It contains the mathematical background you need to complete your independent activity project for this webquest.

Next you will have to get your hands dirty and actually apply the mathematical theory to try to refine the information as described in the "Activity" tab above. For this task you will have to use Mathematica. You will have to research the help file and find how to create the computations, because I will not provide you with my code.

You have three weeks to complete the entire project, so I suggest that you dedicate the entire first week to try to understand the process from its mathematical standpoint. Please do not procastinate! You need the entire length of time I am giving you, in order for the information to sink in and still have the time to complete your activity on top of all your other class assignments.

If you stumble upon something that looks confusing or incomplete, you are encouraged to research further details on your own. So as usual feel free to explore resources outside of the ones I provided you with as long as you reference them in your write-up.
