which grew into territorial states. These territorial states expanded over vast distances‚ the most influential of their time being the Han and Roman Empires. Han and Roman rulers centralized and standardized the economic system‚ allowing them control over their respective empires. Utilization of a structured‚ centralized economic system allowed for stability and greater economic prosperity within the Han and Roman empires.

who discussed the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) for the first time in history. In past years‚ researchers believed that a discrete Fourier transform can also be calculated and classified as FFT by using the Danielson-Lanczos lemma theorem. By using this theorem‚ this process is slower than other‚ as it is slightly tainted in speed due to the power of N (exponent of N) are not 2. Therefore‚ if the number of points i.e. N is not a power of two‚ then the transform will only gives you the sets of points

The key of the development of centralized kingdoms was that the kings extended their power in more effective ways. During the High Middle Age‚ the kings started to had more source of power than the Lords‚ and the Kings used governmental institutions‚ marriage and alliance to extend their power.
