meaning of numpy.fft coefficients

2011-07-08 Thread Joey
the list generated by numpy is of form [ a+bi, c+di, ...] could anybody tell me the meaning of the coefficients a and b? I am very confused about fourier transform! information provided by numpy reference says Ak = Sum of a[m] * exp{-2*pi * i * m * k / n} for m from 0 to n-1 Which part is a and
