Fast Fourier transform free from tears
Department of Computer Science, The Queen's University Belfast, Belfast, UK
Many descriptions of Fast Fourier Transform exist in the literature. Several of these appeal to matrix concepts, such as Kronecker multiplication. This paper shows the essential simplicity of the algorithm and the reasoning behind it. However it deals only with the case when the number of points is an exact power of 2.
