Reply on January 24 2012, 3:39am:

My experiences were not fantastic. The biggest problem was that I injured myself the summer before school, the consequence of which was missing the chance to test out of all of the intro CS classes. Extreme boredom followed. Comment...

Hard to say, it essentially appears to be a lossy FFT, where it picks the frequencies that matter... So not sure if that'll be terribly applicable for things like convolution, though maybe. Comment...
