The transform still has complex numbers.
Summary:
  • is real
Therefore, we only need about half of to represent the signal, as the other half can be derived by conjugation.
"Representation in terms of sines and cosines" from www.statlect.com/matrix-algebra/discrete-Fourier-transform-of-a-real-signal then gives explicit formulas in terms of .

DFT of with 25 points
. Source at: numpy/fft_plot.py. This plot illustrates how the DFT of a real signal is symmetric around the middle point, and so only half of the transform points are needed to reconstruct the original signal. We also see how the phase of the sinusoids determines if their DFT components are real or imaginary.

Usenet personality by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Ciro Santilli does the same via Google searches and Twitter/Reddit searches for himself, you can't invent anything new nowadays:
Kibo was known for his high-volume but thoughtful posts, but achieved Usenet celebrity circa 1991 by writing a small script to grep his entire Usenet feed for instances of his name, and then answering personally whenever and wherever he was mentioned, giving the illusion that he was personally reading the entire feed.
Secret service by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-26
A memorable quote from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy:
Haydon [the Soviet mole] also took it for granted that secret services were the only real measure of a nation's political health, the only real expression of its subconscious.
