While the most versatile approaches to prove the central limit theorem for square-integrable independent random variables are probably those relying on martingale arguments, the present text is devoted to the approach that is generally used in first-year probability courses, relying on characteristic functions. This powerful spectral method was devised to study Markov chains and adapted to the context of deterministic dynamical systems.
