  • Learn how to derive the Fourier series coefficients formulas. Remember, a Fourier series is a series representation of a function with sin(nx) and cos(nx) as its building blocks. Meanwhile, a Taylor series is a series representation of a function with x^n as its building blocks. These are two must-know series in your calculus and engineering math classes.

    I learned about these recently in my partial differential equations class and I think I can shed some light on why you would multiply by cos(nx) or sin(nx). When Fourier series come up in a PDE the sin and cos terms are eigenfunctions after separating variables. There is a theorem in PDE about Sturm-Liouville differential equations that says that if the DE for the eigenfunctions is in Sturm-Liouville form then the eigenfunctions are orthogonal to each other with a specific weight function, which comes from the form of the DE (and form a complete set). Knowing about orthogonality of functions it would seem only natural to multiply by orthogonal functions. It is just like in linear algebra when you have an orthogonal set you can easily calculate each coefficient in a linear combination using the fact that the dot product is 0 when vectors are orthogonal. One other thing I think is interesting to note is that the coefficient term for a_0 is also the average value of f(x) on the interval. Something interesting and fun to consider is why it would be the average. There are good intuitive reasons...

    • @asxxsss6106
      @asxxsss6106 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The term 0 is part of the cosine sum (in reality, the sum goes to 0 to infinite)

    • @andrewhaar2815
      @andrewhaar2815 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@asxxsss6106 It is, but you cannot get a_0 from plugging 0 in for n in the a_n term. Also, as I said, the expression for a_0 is also the average value of f(x) on the interval from -pi to pi, which you can justify intuitively as well as rigorously.

  • @Gold161803
    @Gold161803 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I figured out that part about m being the same as n! The integrands can be written as (cos((n-m)x)+/-cos((n+m)x)/2, and since we've shown twice that the integral from -pi to pi of cos(kx) is zero when k is nonzero, the only thing that matters is when n-m=0, so we can integrate 1/2 over (-pi, pi).
    I know you said you're making a follow-up, I'm just really proud of myself for some reason :)

  • @KevinS47
    @KevinS47 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    BlackpenRedpen, actually, the reason why you should multiply by Cos(mx) or Sin(mx) "f(x)" is because you exploit what's called the "inner product"; I am not 100% sure that this is what Fourier was thinking at the time, but if you know what an innerproduct is, it's simple to see that you have to multiply by a new function to get a specific coefficient. (It's a bit like a dot product except between scalars.. and what do you do when you want to extract the "x" component of a vector? you dot the vector with the unit vector "x", which is sort of what you are doing here basically with cosines and sines)

      The TacoBusiness There were no imaginary curves used in this video, what you are talking about is not even relevant to the video because there are no improper integrals in the video. Also, in general, such integrals with a cosine or sine in them diverge, unless f(x) decays sufficiently fast. In those cases, literally just use integration by parts.
