Everything about Fast Fourier transform

Discrete Fourier transform algorithm

A fast Fourier transform (FFT) is an algorithm that computes the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), or its inverse (IDFT), of a sequence. A Fourier transform converts a signal from its original domain to a representation in the frequency domain and vice versa. Wikipedia →
