We haven't quite shown yet that the sum of orthonormal vectors actually completely represents $f$. Put in another way, there could be some components of $f$ that are not described by the vectors $f_n$. It is necessary to prove first that no other such components exist. + +--> don't quite remember this part + +Now, we know that the entire function space can be described by the defined basis vectors. We can now prove that, the sum of terms that we computed in the previous section does indeed converge to $f$ as follows: + +--> don't quite remember this part + #Why is Fourier series useful?
