Line 6:
for some [[real number|real]] constants ''a'' > 0, ''b'', and ''c''.
 
The ''a'' is the height of the Gaussian peak, ''b'' is the position of the center of the peak and ''c'' is related to the [[FWHM]] of the peak according to <math>FWHM = 2 \sqrt{\2 \ln(2)}c</math>.
 
Gaussian functions with ''c''<sup>2</sup> = 2 are [[eigenfunction]]s of the [[Fourier transform]]. This means that the Fourier transform of a Gaussian function, ''f'', is not only another Gaussian function but a [[scalar (mathematics)|scalar]] multiple of ''f''.
