the fourier series was one of the things that blew my mind. any periodic function can be decomposed into a bunch of sine waves! even (the interesting portions of) many other functions can be approximated by a (potentially infinite) series of sine waves! it's simply madness i tell you.

Interesting bit of history, Kolmogorov became famous when he published his first scientific paper (at 19!) on the construction of a function whose Fourier series diverges (almost) everywhere.
