In mathematics, the Fourier inversion theorem says that for many types of functions it is possible to recover a function from its Fourier transform. Intuitively it may be viewed as the statement that if we know all frequency and phase information about a wave then we may reconstruct the original wave precisely.

The theorem says that if we have a function satisfying certain conditions, and we use the convention for the Fourier transform that

then

In other words, the theorem says that

This last equation is called the Fourier integral theorem.
