+
+## 🔬 Mathematical Foundations
+
+### Forward FFT/DFT
+
+```
+X[k] = Σ(n=0 to N-1) x[n] * e^(-j2πkn/N)
+```
+
+### Inverse FFT/IDFT
+
+```
+x[n] = (1/N) * Σ(k=0 to N-1) X[k] * e^(j2πkn/N)
+```
+
+### Hermitian Symmetry (Real Inputs)
+
+```
+X[k] = X*[N-k]  (conjugate symmetry)
+```
+
+This allows RFFT/RDFT to return only **N/2+1 bins** instead of N.
+
+### Parseval's Theorem (Energy Conservation)
+
+```
+Σ|x[n]|² = (1/N) * Σ|X[k]|²
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Key Features
+
+### 1. **SIMD Optimizations (NEW!)**

+## 🔍 Implementation Details
+
+### Cooley-Tukey Butterfly Operation
+
+```cpp
+inline void butterfly(Complex& a, Complex& b, const Complex& twiddle) {
+    Complex temp = b * twiddle;
+    b = a - temp;
+    a = a + temp;
+}
+```
+
+### Bit-Reversal Permutation

+    size_t result = 0;
+    for (size_t i = 0; i < bits; ++i) {

+}
+```
+
+### Hermitian Symmetry Reconstruction

+// For IRFFT: X[N-k] = conj(X[k])
+for (size_t k = 1; k < halfSize - 1; ++k) {

+
+## 🐛 Common Pitfalls & Solutions
+
+### 1. **Power-of-2 Requirement**
+
+❌ **Problem**: `fft()` requires size = 2^n  
+✅ **Solution**: Use `dft()` for arbitrary sizes or zero-pad with `FftUtils.zeroPad()`
+
+### 2. **DC Bin Interpretation**
+
+❌ **Problem**: Forgetting DC bin (k=0) represents 0 Hz  
+✅ **Solution**: Always handle `spectrum[0]` separately (no negative frequency pair)
+
+### 3. **Nyquist Frequency**
+
+❌ **Problem**: Misinterpreting last bin in half-spectrum  
+✅ **Solution**: Last bin = Nyquist (sampleRate/2), only real for even N
+
+### 4. **Window Normalization**
+
+❌ **Problem**: Window attenuates signal energy  
+✅ **Solution**: Normalize by window sum: `magnitude *= N / sum(window)`
+
+### 5. **Inverse Transform Scaling**
+
+❌ **Problem**: Forgetting 1/N scaling in IFFT  
+✅ **Solution**: Always divide by N in inverse (already handled internally)
+

+
+## 🔬 Mathematical Validation
+
+### Test: Parseval's Theorem
+
+```typescript
+// Time-domain energy
+const timeEnergy = signal.reduce((sum, x) => sum + x * x, 0);
+
+// Frequency-domain energy
+const spectrum = fft.rfft(signal);
+const power = fft.getPower(spectrum);
+let freqEnergy = power[0] + power[halfSize - 1]; // DC + Nyquist
+for (let i = 1; i < halfSize - 1; i++) {
+  freqEnergy += 2 * power[i]; // Account for negative freqs
+}
+freqEnergy /= N;
+
+// Verify: timeEnergy ≈ freqEnergy (within 1%)
+```
+
+### Test: Perfect Reconstruction
+
+```typescript
+const original = generateSignal();
+const spectrum = fft.rfft(original);
+const reconstructed = fft.irfft(spectrum);
+
+// Max error should be < 1e-5
+const maxError = Math.max(
+  ...original.map((x, i) => Math.abs(x - reconstructed[i]))
+);
+```
