Some Applications of the Fast Fourier Transform

Abstract

Fourier's approach to the problem of heat conduction served as the introduction to Fourier series and Fourier integral. This led later to the discrete Fourier transform and recently to the fast Fourier transform. The fast Fourier transform, serving as an expeditious means to pass from functions of time to functions of frequency, contributes to the analysis of time-invariant systems for deterministic as well as stochastic situations.
