[Simon Inns] just rolled out his latest project, a PIC based spectrum analyzer. He’s using a Fast Fourier Transform routine crafted in C to run as efficiently as possible on the 8-bit chip. The video ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

At the Association for Computing Machinery's Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA), a group of MIT researchers will present a new algorithm that, in a large range of practically important cases, ...

The Fourier transform is one of the most fundamental concepts in the information sciences. It's a method for representing an irregular signal — such as the voltage fluctuations in the wire that ...
