Re: Fourier series

Yes, but what has that have to do with pizza?

Re: Fourier series

Nothing. We are making gel candles for school project. Why is a gel candle considered a good gift?

That pizza sounds good:)

Have you covered the least squares - orthogonality property of these approximations?

Re: Fourier series

Read the other ones, have you?

These fits are both least square and orthogonal. This makes them very desirable. Along with the periodicity property.

Re: Fourier series

That is not likely to be GiB He does quality posts.

By the way, today is the last day of my secondary schooling

Re: Fourier series

I never saw him ever do a quality post.

Let's do the fourier series for x^2.

f[x_] := x^2;

a0 = 1/(2*\[Pi]) Integrate[f[x], {x, -\[Pi], \[Pi]}];
a[n_] := 1/\[Pi] Integrate[f[x] Cos[n*x], {x, -\[Pi], \[Pi]}];
b[n_] := 1/\[Pi] Integrate[f[x] Sin[n*x], {x, -\[Pi], \[Pi]}];

All the b's are zero and

a0 + a[1] Cos[x] + a[2] Cos[2 x] + a[3] Cos[3 x] + a[4] Cos[4 x]

yields:

Plot[{x^2, \[Pi]^2/3 - 4 Cos[x] + Cos[2 x] - 4/9 Cos[3 x] + 1/4 Cos[4 x]}, {x, -\[Pi], \[Pi]}]

quite a good fit as you can see below.

Re: Fourier series

It is not really a good fit still
