“xQc couldn’t believe Fourier Transformation” — “xQc non riesce a credere alla Trasformata di Fourier”

youtube.com/watch?v=oL1gHyuPOs…
Nel corso di reti all’università è stata menzionata la trasformata di #Fourier… per fortuna solo menzionata, perché giustamente il corso da noi si fa pur sempre solo dal punto di vista informatico, non ingegneristico… e boh, ricordo che ho dormito per tutto il misero minuto per cui la diapositiva a riguardo è rimasta a schermo. Non voglio assolutamente avere a che fare con queste formule complicate strane, altrimenti sarei andata ad ingegneria informatica come altri miei amici…

…Però, devo dire che guardando l’argomento con l’animazione bellina, la formula messa effettivamente in un contesto dimostrativo ben illustrato, e quindi insomma questo tipo di vibe qui, il mio rifiuto si fa meno forte. Personalmente a guardare questa clip comunque non ho reagito come invece si vede #xQc fare qui; grande streamer lui, che non immaginavo avesse sviluppato questa particolare passione per la #matematica… anche se lui è talmente sbigottito alla vista della trasformata di Fourier che addirittura non ci ha potuto nemmeno credere. DAMN indeed, that is in fact insane, caro mio…
