This is because any function could be expressed as a number of peaks at every position. -It turns out that the above function can be approximated as the sum of two cosines, namely, $\cos^{2n}(x) + cos^{2n+1}(x)$ +It turns out that the above function can be approximated as the difference of two cosines, namely, $\cos^{2n}(x) + cos^{2n+1}(x)$ <center>![$\cos^{2n}(x)$](/cos10x.gif) ![$cos^{2n+1}(x)$](/cos11x.gif) </center> Summing these two functions we get the following: -![$\cos^{2n}(x) + cos^{2n+1}(x)$(/cos10x-cos11x.gif) +![$\cos^{2n}(x) + cos^{2n+1}(x)$](/cos10x-cos11x.gif) ##What is the Fourier series actually?</b> |
