I am a student taking engineering course and wish to learn more about Fourier Transforms. It seems very useful. Would highly appreciate it if anyone could advise me where to start.
Recommended books/links for Fourier Transform beginners?

0I am taking electrical engineering course. I didn't specify because I thought Fourier could be applied on various areas. I even saw a book of Fourier Transform for Finance. =O – 2010-11-21
