Title: Math trivia (1 ... and only probably)
Post by: bloom25 on February 14, 2001, 12:50:00 PM

Questions:

FFT stands for what?  What is it used for?

The sum of a geometric series (1/a^n) is what from 0<n<infinity for a values less than 1?

Dam you Rip  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) although your pretty much right about that

Fast Fourier Transform, used to measure frequency spectrum of a signal.

if you mean the series (1/a^0 + 1/a^1 + 1/a^2....) the sum is infinity

mr fish, how about inequality symbols.

FFT = fast fourier transform, and it is used by nerds! DING! DING! DING!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

The sum of a series where a is less than 1 is just 1/(1-a).
