Just like what I had in school - professor was a brain on feet, but no 
practicable applications really shown or taught.

As you probably already know, DSP systems use the transforms a lot and 
can actually be quite fun.

We did type a few transforms into MATLAB and get to hear what it did to 
a sound file, but little more.

What I really wanted was to be able to do it on a chip and then have it 
process sound real-time.  That would have helped me see the application 
much more clearly.
