A Fourier series (/ ˈ f ʊr i eɪ,-i ər /) is an expansion of a periodic function into a sum of trigonometric functions. The Fourier series is an example of a trigonometric series, but not all trigonometric series are Fourier series.
6 days ago · A Fourier series is a series that is used to expand a periodic function f(x) in terms of an infinite sum of sines and cosines. Fourier Series uses orthogonal relation of sine and cosine functions. What is Fourier Series Formula? Fourier series formula of any function f(x) in the interval [-L, L] is,
A Fourier series is an expansion of a periodic function f (x) in terms of an infinite sum of sines and cosines. Fourier Series makes use of the orthogonality relationships of the sine and cosine functions. Laurent Series yield Fourier Series.

a square wave = sin (x) + sin (3x)/3 + sin (5x)/5 + ... (infinitely) That is the idea of a Fourier series. By adding infinite sine (and or cosine) waves we can make other functions, even if they are a bit weird. You might like to have a little play with:
This section explains three Fourier series: sines, cosines, and exponentials eikx. Square waves (1 or 0 or −1) are great examples, with delta functions in the derivative. We look at a spike, a step function, and a ramp—and smoother functions too.
A Fourier series is a way of representing a periodic function as a (possibly infinite) sum of sine and cosine functions. It is analogous to a Taylor series, which represents functions as possibly infinite sums of monomial terms. For functions that are not periodic, the Fourier series is replaced by the Fourier transform.
Fourier series are a wonderful tool for breaking a periodic function, however complicated, into simple pieces. The superposition principle will then allow us to solve DE’s with arbitrary periodic input in Fourier series form. In later notes we will extend Fourier’s theorem to functions of other periods.
A Fourier series is a way to represent a periodic function in terms an infinite sum of sines and cosines. Fourier series are useful for breaking up arbitrary periodic functions into simpler terms that can be individually solved, then recombined to provide a solution or approximation to a given problem.
