Number Theoretic Transform


Simplemindedly, a number theoretic transform is a generalization of a fast Fourier transform obtained by replacing e^(-2piik/N) with an nth primitive root of unity. This effectively means doing a transform over the quotient ring Z/pZ instead of the complex numbers C. The theory is rather elegant and uses the language of finite fields and number theory.
