Hi Oliver,
An FFT is meant for list of data points. Fourier[ ], the Mathematica
function to perform an FFT, takes a list as argument and returns its
FFT.
However, since s(t) is a continuous function you will probably need a
fourier transform, for which Mathematica has provided you with the
conveniently named function FourierTransform[ ].
You can plot s(f) for instance like this (use Abs[ ] to show the
amplitude and Arg[ ] for phase):
Plot[FourierTransform[(1/(4*(Pi*1*t)^(3/2)))*Exp[-(3)/(4*1*t)], t,
f] // Abs, {f, 0, 5}].
Cheers -- Sjoerd
