This blog post provides an overview of key concepts in algorithms, starting with Dynamic Programming and Greedy Algorithms, exploring techniques like Divide and Conquer, Fourier Transform, and foundational theory on P and NP, NP-Completeness, and NP-Hard problems. It delves into Linear Programming and Integer Linear Programming, focusing on Approximation Algorithms and their applications, including TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem) approximation schemes. The post also covers advanced topics such as RSA Public Key Cryptography and the Basics of Quantum Computing, along with an introduction to advanced data structures, offering a comprehensive guide to important algorithmic techniques and their real-world applications.

Discusses Fourier Transform’s in signal processing, physics, and engineering, where it converts time-domain functions into frequency-domain representations. Explains the Inverse Fourier Transform and Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) for discrete signals. It also covers the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), an efficient algorithm for polynomial multiplication, detailing the key steps involved in its execution and its overall time complexity of O(n log n + n). Explains how Numpy handles FFT operations with functions like numpy.fft.fft for forward and numpy.fft.ifft for inverse transformations.
