Maxima by Example, Ch. 11: Fast Fourier Transform Tools
Ted Woollett
Chapter 11 and the software file qfft.mac have been revised and greatly simplified to allow use
of the new simplified Maxima package fft.lisp, effective with Maxima ver. 5.19.0, August 2009.
The latex code file is made available for the convenience of instructors who would like to
incorporate parts of Ch. 11 in their class notes and handouts.
