Sounds like you're re-inventing DSP. I understood Rick's comment to
imply that once you represent a continuous signal in a form suitable
for the application of numerical techniques, it's no longer actually a
continuous signal.

You don't have to do it with symbolic math; there are plenty of
numerical techniques that can compute such things to any desired
accuracy (given enough computing power) (although which technique you
use will depend on what kind of function you are transforming).
However, there's not enough information about the original poster's
needs to give sensible advice in this case.

There are some calculators with pretty good symbolic
math, too. Though I don't know that any yet do
Fourier transforms, it wouldn't be hard.
The TI-92 is pretty good, and reasonably affordable, too.

Of course you can. There's lots of symbolic math software.
Of course you need a to do this on tractable closed form
symbolic functions instead of arbitrary sampled data.
But "assume a spherical cow" ...
IMHO. YMMV.

Hi,
it sounds like you're using a computer to solve your
problem. Sadly, no one can perform continuous
signal processing on a computer.
So what really is the problem your professor gave you?
Does he want you to write a program to perform the
discrete Fourier transform (DFT), or maybe a fast
Fourier transform (FFT)?

Whether you mean continuous-time Fourier transform or continuous-time
Fourier series, I think you'll have a job - both involve integrals and/
or infinite series. How do you intend to represent continuous-time
signals in Matlab?
