Spectral methods are a class of techniques used in applied mathematics and scientific computing to numerically solve certain differential equations, potentially involving the use of the fast Fourier transform. The idea is to write the solution of the differential equation as a sum of certain "basis functions" and then to choose the coefficients in the sum in order to satisfy the differential equation as well as possible.
