Also check out other branches of science. One of the best explanations of Fourier maths I ever read was in a textbook of seismic techniques for oil exploration! Most references will discuss Fast Fourier Transforms; which can be used if your data signals are evenly sampled (in time or frequency steps). Of more use to you would be Discrete Fourier Transforms; which can also analyse "intermittent" data such as typical variable star observations. cheers, -- Fraser Farrell ---------------------------------- http://astronomy.trilobytes.com.au ----------------------------------
