In most of the cases where a Fourier Transform is actually employed, it is not an integral. In this video, I give a rapid fire introduction to functional analysis, the Schwartz space, tempered distributions, and their Fourier Transforms. We show that the Fourier Transform of a periodic function can be viewed as a Tempered Distribution, and through Dirac or Delta Combs we can show that a Fourier Transform of a periodic function is a collection of impulses and from that we can derive a Fourier Series of a Periodic Function.

![Getting caught with facial recognition - How SVDs are used in Facial Recognition Software
This video builds on the SVD concepts of the previous videos, where I talk about the algorithm from the paper Eigenfaces for Recognition. These tools are used everywhere from law enforcement (such as tracking down the rioters at the Capitol) to unlocking your cell phone.
