Fourier Transform I

Part 4: Summary

1. Summarize what you found out about the Heaviside function.

2. Summarize what you found out about the Dirac delta "function."

3. How did we use the Fourier transform in our description of the solution of the initial value problem for the one-dimensional heat equation on the infinite rod?

4. Describe briefly the role of convolution in our description of the solution of the initial value problem for the one-dimensional heat equation on the infinite rod.
