A:

I haven't used Matlab for a while, but it does have a very convenient FFT discrete Fourier command. As for the Zernike polynomials, they're just polynomials with defined coefficients, which you can look up:  . (I don't know if they're already in some Matlab package.) I'm not sure what the complication is other than deciding how many points to use on the x-axis. The more points you use, the more accurate the answer. I'd just guess that maybe 100*the order of the polynomial should be good for many purposes. You could try increasing the number of points just to make sure it doesn't matter much.
