FOURIER SERIES

Introduction: In many engineering problems, especially in the study of periodic phenomenae

in conduction of heat, electro-dynamics and acoustics, it is necessary to express a function in a
series of sines and cosines. Such a series is known as the Fourier series.
DEFINITIONS:
A function y  f (x) is said to be even, if f ( x)  f ( x) . The graph of the even function is
always symmetrical about the y-axis.
A function y  f (x) is said to be odd, if f ( x)   f ( x) . The graph of the odd function is always
symmetrical about the origin.
For example, the function f(x) = x in [-1, 1] is even as f(-x) =  x  x = f(x) and the function

f(x) = x in [-1, 1] is odd as f(-x) = -x = -f(x). The graphs of these functions are shown below:
