I highly recommend these videos:

They don't directly explain the Fourier transform but watching them will give you important background that will help in understanding the Fourier transform.

A decent primer can be found at http://www.thefouriertransform.com/

The nature of it is not meant to be easy, sorry

What is your learning level and dominant modality? What is your background?

I'm a compsci undergrad currently, wouldnt say I'm bad at math wouldnt say I'm particularly good(thus the question), I can teach myself some math but it takes a lot of time and a lot of stress (which I'm trying to improve).

You can learn it from your university's EE department.

I was looking for an easy explanation so I can be prepared to learn and study it.

What is a dominant modality?
