Section 19.3 and online reading

I was glad that the reading started off saying that we arent going to explain this all as detailed as we might but youre going to have to take a few things on faith.  When it comes to quantum mechanics I am completely ok with that...  The first part made logical sense, but when it started talking about fourier transforms I was a little confused, on what they were finding and then on how to use them.  Are Fourier transforms something that we might analyze more than compute?  I understand about the peaks and the periodicity but getting it to that form is the scarier part.
And the online article made sense too, interesting to see what happens when you distill the math out of a complicated subject.
