- FOURIER SERIES
-
- This slide show consists of graphs of various functions together with some of
- their Fourier Series approximations.
-
- When viewing the slides, the following keys are operational:
-
- HOME takes you to the first slide in the sequence you selected
- END takes you to the last slide in the sequence you selected
- UP ARROW takes you to the previous slide in the sequence you selected
- F9 immediately quits the program
-
- These keys do NOT operate like that while you are reading this document.
-
- A. Triangular Wave
- The function here is
-
- x if -π/2 < x < π/2
- π - x if π/2 < x < 3π/2
- and has period 2π.
-
- The first slide shows this function for -2π < x < 2π. The next 6 slides show
- the Fourier series expansion out to terms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, superimposed on the
- function.
-
- B. Square Wave
- The function here is
-
- -1 if -2 < x < 0
- 1 if 0 < x < 2
- and has period 4.
-
- The first slide shows this function for -4 < x < 4. The next 11 slides show the
- Fourier series expansion out to terms 1, 2, 3, ... , 9, 10, 11, superimposed on
- the function. Notice Gibbs phenomena.
-
- C. Saw Tooth Wave
- The function here is
-
- x if -1 < x < 1
- and has period 2.
-
- The first slide shows this function for -3 < x < 3. The next 11 slides show the
- Fourier series expansion out to terms 1, 2, 3, ... , 9, 10, 11, superimposed on
- the function. Again notice Gibbs phenomena.
-
- D. Cosine Expansion of Sine
- The function is
-
- sin x if 0 < x < π.
-
- The first slide shows this function. The next 8 slides show the Fourier cosine
- series expansion out to terms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 superimposed on the
- function.
-
- E. Interrupted Square Wave
- The function here is
-
- 0 if -π < x < -π/2
- -π/2 if -π/2 < x < 0
- π/2 if 0 < x < π/2
- 0 if π/2 < x < π
- and has period 2π.
-
- The first slide shows this function for -π < x < π. The next 13 slides show the
- Fourier series expansion out to terms 1, 2, 3, ... 11, 12, 13, superimposed on
- the function.
