Sharp feather tips can be approximated by adding smooth sine and cosine waves. This hummingbird’s outline is described by two Fourier series, one for each coordinate. Their rotating chains position the pen where the horizontal and vertical guides meet. Low frequencies capture the broad shape; higher frequencies recover smaller... show more

Basically the first few waves just sketch the rough outline of the bird, then the higher ones fill in the sharp feathers and finer bits. Gets pretty accurate once you add enough of them.

Using Fourier series to redraw a hummingbird outline is a beautiful way to show how low frequencies hold the shape and the high ones chase the feathers.

Sine and cosine are two projections of a single rotating point. As it moves around the unit circle, its vertical position traces the sine wave, while its horizontal position traces the cosine wave.

A square wave jumps between two values and stays flat. Fourier showed it is built from sine waves alone: add the odd harmonics 3, 5, 7 and so on, each one that many times faster and that many times smaller. Every circle here is one harmonic and the last tip's height is the wave. With 1, 3, 9, 30 and 100 circles the tops flatten and the edges sharpen, but a 9 percent overshoot never goes away: the Gibbs phenomenon. Pitch follows the height.

The outline of π, sampled at 2048 points, is a sum of circles: z(t) = ∑ cₖ eⁱᵏᵗ, the cₖ from its discrete Fourier transform. Circle k has radius |cₖ| and turns k times per lap. With the N largest, the widest gap to the outline is 41.6 % of the letter's height at N = 1, 1.37 % at 64, 0.36 % at 256. Finitely many circles make a smooth curve, and π has four sharp corners, so no chain is exact. The error stays below the sum of the radii left out.

Each coordinate of the Koch snowflake's outline has its own real Fourier series, x(t) = ∑ (aₖ cos kt + bₖ sin kt), and one chain of arms per axis draws it where their guides cross. The snowflake's six-fold symmetry leaves only k ≡ ±1 (mod 6), so five arms in six are zero, and its mirror leaves x only sines and y only cosines. The error falls from 11.5 % of the height at N = 1 to 0.60 % at N = 193. At N = 1 the two arms are equal: a circle.

The Moore curve of order 4 is a loop of 256 unit steps through every cell of a 16 × 16 grid. Each coordinate has its own real Fourier series, and one chain of arms per axis draws it. The second half of the loop is the first half turned 180°, so every even harmonic is zero, and its mirror leaves x only sines and y only cosines. A curve that wiggles everywhere converges slowly: 32.3 % of the height at N = 1, still 0.47 % at N = 255.

In 1859, Riemann wrote one sentence about where a function equals zero. 10 trillion cases checked, not a single counterexample - and it's still unproven. Worth $1 million. The zeros of the zeta function encode the exact position of every prime number as a sum of waves - the same Fourier decomposition that every transformer uses when its positional encoding layers convert token positions into sine and cosine frequencies. Each zero at 1/2 + iγ produces a wave in log x with height growing like √x and frequency γ. The first zero at 14.13i repeats every time x gets multiplied by 1.56. Add 100 pairs of waves and the prime count at 100 converges from 98.16 to within 0.4 of truth. If a single zero sits off the critical line, its wave would grow faster than √x and eventually swamp every other correction. In 2025, an AI agent called Gauss completed a machine-checked proof of the prime number theorem in Lean - verified line by line. But the full hypothesis needs an idea no human or AI has found yet. 10 minutes. Bookmark & watch today. The $1 million sentence that decides where every prime number lives.

Discrete Fourier Transform by hand ✍️ ~ 12 steps walkthrough below Here is a little-known secret about the DFT and the inverse DFT: it is just matrix multiplication in both directions, one the transpose of the other, exactly like the forward pass and backpropagation I drew in other examples. Goal: recover which cosine waves a signal is made of, using nothing but multiplication and addition. = 1. Given = Three signals written as sums of cosines, and a fourth, X, that we do not know yet. = 2. Frequency matrix F = Let us write the coefficients as a matrix. Each signal is a row, each frequency a column, so A = cos(w) + 2cos(2w) becomes [1, 2, 0, 0]. = 3. Sample the waves = We read the four cosine waves at ten discrete time points. That word "discrete" is the whole difference between this and the continuous transform. = 4. Cosine matrix W = Let us write those samples as a matrix: each frequency a row, each time point a column. = 5. Frequency to time = We multiply F by W. That combines the four cosine waves in the proportions F specifies, and the result T is the three signals as they would look in time. = 6. Transpose = Let us stand each signal up as a column. = 7. Time to frequency = We multiply W by that transpose. Every cell is the dot product of one signal with one cosine wave, which measures how much of that wave the signal contains. Zero means none of it. = 8. Scale = Let us multiply by 2/n, with n = 10. The projections come out five times too large, and this is the correction. = 9. Transpose back = We turn it back around, and it is F again, exactly. That is the check: the transform recovered the coefficients we started from. = 10. Now solve for X = Let us run the same multiplication on the one signal whose recipe we never knew. = 11. Scale = We divide by 5 again. = 12. Transpose back = And X reads [0, 0, 3, 2], which says X = 3cos(3w) + 2cos(4w). Note: I originally drew this to show that the DFT is a special case of a convolution layer, its filters fixed to sine and cosine waves rather than learned. No wonder, then, that a convolution layer free to learn its own filters can be trained to process signals. 💾 Save this post!

This shows ~1,200 years of seawater erosion of the Khafre Pyramid, compressed into one minute. For the first ~500 years a high ocean stand holds about 300 ft above the base; its waves lap the soft Tura limestone casing and dissolve it (carbonic acid) at roughly 0.08 ft/year — about one inch of perpendicular recession annually, and ~14× faster than the slow dissolution on submerged surfaces below. As the sea recedes, it then pauses at successively lower stands, each held ~75–100 years, and each carves a distinct horizontal band where the casing is stripped to the bare core. Loosened blocks slough off at their own pace and fall down each face, piling into talus that mounds toward the center of all four sides. The smooth white cap above the highest waterline is never reached and survives intact.

In this animation, every integer is placed on a growing spiral, primes ignite as sharp golden events, and the hidden oscillations come from the first Riemann zeta zeros.

Joseph Fourier’s 1823 engraving, traced as 57 ink shapes joined by thin bridges into one closed outline, is a sum of circles: z(t) = ∑ cₖ eⁱᵏᵗ, the cₖ from its discrete Fourier transform. With the N largest circles the widest gap to the outline is 42.0 % of the portrait’s height at N = 1, 3.16 % at 128 and 0.92 % at 512, and the circles shrink like k^−1.47. The tip’s distance |z(t)| plays as pitch.

there is no distortion, waveshaping, or clipping effect on these sawtooth chords. It's just an additional 500 pure sine waves, their frequencies set to the sum/differences of harmonics in the chords.
