The Question to answer here is: What is the relationship between the continuous Fourier Transform, and the discrete one?

In words, you may describe the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) as a sampled Continuous Fourier Transform. The Discrete represents a finite amount of points on the continuous transform - enough so that you can reconstruct the signal to the correct amount of accuracy that you need, and prevent aliasing (see HW #11)
