Discrete Fourier Transform (general)

This article is about the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) over any ring, commonly called a number-theoretic transform (NTT) in the case of finite fields. For specific information on the discrete Fourier transform over the complex numbers, see discrete Fourier transform.

Famous quotes containing the words discrete and/or transform:

    We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child’s life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    Americans, unhappily, have the most remarkable ability to alchemize all bitter truths into an innocuous but piquant confection and to transform their moral contradictions, or public discussion of such contradictions, into a proud decoration, such as are given for heroism on the battle field.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)
