James Cooley

Also Known As James William Cooley
Theory of Computation

James William Cooley was an American mathematician who worked at institutions including the Institute for Advanced Study and the IBM Watson Research Center. His most significant contribution was co-developing the Cooley-Tukey fast Fourier transform algorithm with John Tukey in 1965, which revolutionized digital signal processing.
