Fourier Transform On Euclidean Space
The Fourier transform can be in any arbitrary number of dimensions n. As with the one-dimensional case, there are many conventions. For an integrable function ƒ(x), this article takes the definition:
where x and ξ are n-dimensional vectors, and x · ξ is the dot product of the vectors. The dot product is sometimes written as .
All of the basic properties listed above hold for the n-dimensional Fourier transform, as do Plancherel's and Parseval's theorem. When the function is integrable, the Fourier transform is still uniformly continuous and the Riemann–Lebesgue lemma holds. (Stein & Weiss 1971)

Famous quotes containing the words transform and/or space:
“The lullaby is the spell whereby the mother attempts to transform herself back from an ogre to a saint.”
—James Fenton (b. 1949)
“Sir Walter Raleigh might well be studied, if only for the excellence of his style, for he is remarkable in the midst of so many masters. There is a natural emphasis in his style, like a man’s tread, and a breathing space between the sentences, which the best of modern writing does not furnish. His chapters are like English parks, or say rather like a Western forest, where the larger growth keeps down the underwood, and one may ride on horseback through the openings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
