Fun Fast Fourier Facts and FORTRAN

Abstract: Fourier Transforms are presented as generally as a linear transform used to decompose a function. Yet many practical discrete applications of Fourier Analysis of signals exist in electronics, audio, and image processing. This talk aims to explain how a Discrete Fourier Transform can be rather simply applied and accelerated to perform blazingly fast calculations on large quantities of data, including some simple examples of signal recovery and processing.

Remark: On Saturday, April 21, four UMass students spoke at a regional mathematics conference at Siena College in Loudonville, NY. By popular demand, they will reprise their presentations in our seminar.

The presentations cover a large variety of topics and are intended for a general math audience. The seminar is organized by Prof. Alfred Noël and we usually meet Monday afternoons, from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm.

Questions and suggestions regarding this page should be addressed to the Department Chair or to the Webmaster.
