Numerical Recipes' two chapters on FT (one on implementation, one on applications) is a longer introduction. It does especially well at addressing Confusion's point by making FTs' meaning intuitive, across many domains.…

If your goal is to be broadly and deeply familiar with Algorithms you will need to cover quite a bit of additional material. Numerical methods -- Numerical Recipes 3rd Edition: The Art of Scientific Computing by Tuekolsky and Vetterling. I love this book.

I really enjoyed taking a course on numerics from Saul Teukolsky, what stood out in the class as opposed my reading to the Numerical Recipes book which he was a co-author of, was the part about the numerical stability of discretizing and integrating partial differential equations. If you did it wrong, unphysical artifacts of the discretization…
