But what is the Fourier Transform? A visual introduction. via /r/TheAmpHour https://buff.ly/2EltO42

I think most people aren't aware of what a basis is, or even a complex exponential and probably even why one would care :) Only after that can they ask why complex exponentials.
True. However, and this might be a controversial position: Maybe people should learn at least some basic linear algebra (and complex arithmetic of course) before trying to do anything with fourier transforms. We also teach people addition *before* we teach them multiplication.
