Informal Development of Fast Fourier Transform: Part 1 of 3

###### Topic Description

Any given periodic function $f$ can be expressed in terms of the unknown, complex numbers $\tilde{C}_n$, where the unknown complex numbers $\tilde{C}_n$ can be computed by the double summations over the indexes $n$, and $k$. This formulation will lead to expensive “matrix times vector” operations. It can be demonstrated that computation of the unknown complex numbers $\tilde{C}_n$ will require “matrix times vector” operations, that will involve with 16 complex multiplications, and 12 complex additions, corresponding to the index $n=1,\, 2,\, ....,\,N-1=3$; with $N=4$ data points. Using the definition of the complex number $W=e^{-i \frac{2\pi}{N}}$ with $\pi=3.1416$ and together with Euler identity, this video lecture will explain the important property of $W$, such as $W^{nk}=W^{p}$, where $p=\mod(nk,N)$.
