TLDR
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) as discussed by the authors is a computer algorithm that computes the discrete Fourier transform much faster than other algorithms, and it can be used to compute an N = 210-point transform 100 times faster than using a direct approach.
Abstract
The fast Fourier transform (FFT), a computer algorithm that computes the discrete Fourier transform much faster than other algorithms, is explained. Examples and detailed procedures are provided to assist the reader in learning how to use the algorithm. The savings in computer time can be huge; for example, an N = 210-point transform can be computed with the FFT 100 times faster than with the use of a direct approach.

Spectrum analysis—A modern perspective

TL;DR: In this paper, a summary of many of the new techniques developed in the last two decades for spectrum analysis of discrete time series is presented, including classical periodogram, classical Blackman-Tukey, autoregressive (maximum entropy), moving average, autotegressive-moving average, maximum likelihood, Prony, and Pisarenko methods.

A linear filtering approach to the computation of discrete Fourier transform

TL;DR: It is shown that the discrete equivalent of a chirp filter is needed to implement the computation of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) as a linear filtering process, and that use of the conventional FFT permits the computations in a time proportional to N \log_{2} N for any N.

An algorithm for the machine calculation of complex Fourier series

TL;DR: Good generalized these methods and gave elegant algorithms for which one class of applications is the calculation of Fourier series, applicable to certain problems in which one must multiply an N-vector by an N X N matrix which can be factored into m sparse matrices.
