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?

Fast Fourier Transform...its used by nerds.

Dam you Rip

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

hey math cool - i got one for ya-

sir thomas harriot introduced what mathematical symbols into common usage?

hint: oh the "injustice" of it all.....

Male Math: You + Me = 69

Female Math : You + Me = Prenup agreement

oh another hint the answer has something to do with comparison....hmmmmm.....disc uss

mr fish, how about inequality symbols.

FFT = fast fourier transform, and it is used by nerds! DING! DING! DING!

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