Fourier series

Fourier series is a wonderful piece of mathematics discovered by Monsieur Joseph Fourier in 1807 , 212 years ago from
today

What is Fourier series

Fourier found out that every wave can be written in summation of sine and cosine
∞
𝑛𝜋𝑥 𝑛𝜋𝑥
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑎0 + ∑ (𝑎𝑛 cos + 𝑏𝑛 sin )
𝐿 𝐿
𝑛=1

Where a0 is called a DC component

an and bn are constants which wary for every wave so is L
Now there are tricks for finding each of an and bn
But the beauty of Fourier series is that any wave can be written like this by any means even square waves which look
nothing similar to sine

This is a square wave on oscilloscope this is the graph of that wave generated by sine waves
generated by mobile phone using equation
10
(2𝑛+1)𝑛𝑥
𝑓(𝑥 ) = ∑ (sin ) . 4/π
𝑛=1 2𝑛+1

and any form can be made using Fourier series like these

The beauty of Fourier series

Fourier series bonds the abstract world of mathematics to
real world of physics. It is the important tool in
understanding quantum physics because according to
quantum physics every matter is essentially wave which
indicates that our life is guarded by Fourier series
God made world in form of sine and cosines, things which
are constant throughout the universe are irrational like v or
p sin(4.6) is highly irrational and can't be compute to
precise but because of Fourier series it is used to make
integers like a square wave
