Researchers have developed a new algorithm that, in a large range of practically important cases, improves on the fast Fourier transform. Under some circumstances, the improvement can be dramatic -- a ...

Over at Quanta Magazine [Shalma Wegsman] asks What Is the Fourier Transform? [Shalma] begins by telling you a little about Joseph Fourier, the French mathematician with an interest in heat propagation ...

There are many books and articles on the Fourier Transform and its implementation available. A quick survey of these resources shows that they are not geared to the needs of the “Practicing ...

Specifications for analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) often include a fast Fourier transform (FFT) plot, such as the one shown in the figure, for a 12-bit ADC with a single-frequency input signal. In ...

For a large range of practically useful cases, MIT researchers find a way to increase the speed of one of the most important algorithms in the information sciences. The Fourier transform is one of the ...

Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of mathematics and physics. The calculation, called the Fourier transform, ...
