Mathematical Physics 2 1102282 Chapter 7 Fourier Series and Transforms Lecture 2 Basic of Fourier series Mathematical methods in the physical sciences 3rd edition Mary L. Boas Lecturer: Dr. Mai Khaleel Outline 5. Fourier coefficients 5. Fourier coefficients We want to expand a given periodic function in a series of sines and cosines. [First, we start with sin(nx) and cos(nx) instead of sin(nt) and cos(nt).] - Given a function f(x) of period 2, f ( x) 1 a0 a1 cos x a2 cos 2 x a3 cos 3x 2 b1 sin x b2 sin 2 x b3 sin 3x , We need to determine the coefficients!!
