@article{Heideman1984GaussAT, title={Gauss and the history of the fast Fourier transform}, author={Michael T. Heideman and Don H. Johnson and C. Sidney Burrus}, journal={Archive for History of Exact Sciences}, year={1984}, volume={34}, pages={265-277} }
THE fast Fourier transform (Fm has become well known . as a very efficient algorithm for calculating the discrete Fourier Transform (Om of a sequence of N numbers. The OFT is used in many disciplines to obtain the spectrum or . frequency content of a Signal, and to facilitate the computation of discrete convolution and correlation. Indeed, published work on the FFT algorithm as a means of calculating the OFT, by J. W. Cooley and J. W. Tukey in 1965 [1], was a turning point in digital signal…
