Both Fourier Series and Fourier Transform are methods to analyze periodic signals, however, there are some key differences between them.
Fourier Series decomposes a signal into a sum of sinusoidal components, where each component has a unique frequency and amplitude. It is typically used to represent periodic signals with a finite duration, such as square waves or triangle waves. On the other hand, the Fourier Transform converts a function from its original domain (e.g., time or space) to the complex plane, representing the same information using different mathematical tools. While both approaches convert a real-world phenomenon into an abstract representation, the Fourier Transform works better with continuous signals than discrete ones like the Fourier Series does. So while they share similarities, they serve different purposes and have distinct strengths and weaknesses depending on the type of data being analyzed.
