Um, let me help you.
Every single lecture is carefully planned, advertised ahead of time, and delivered according to the schedule. Which is the opposite of 'random'.
You are welcome. 😊

A square wave can be expressed as the infinite sum of odd sine waves with ever-decreasing amplitudes and periods. This is an example of a Fourier transform, a powerful tool in maths & physics that can be used for encoding/decoding information stored in waves. 1/2
