I had a terrible adjunct professor in ODEs and got little or no theory. I'm not in PDEs and my much better professor just (re)introduced convolutions while generalizing the heat equation to Rn - unfortunately it was not a reintroduction for me.
Later chapters in the book deal with transforms, which are, I think "special" convolutions where you mix the subject function with a specific kernel function. Apparently I need to understand this concept.
Any resources for getting an intuitive understanding of what a convolution *is* and why one would want to do such a thing? I played around on Youtube and Wikipedia and I see the mechanics but not the theory.
Thanks
