We first begin with a few basic identities on the size of sets. Show that the set of possible functions representing sets is not larger than the set of available functions?

+#Why Fourier series is plausible?</b>
To show that Fourier series is plausible, let us consider some arbitrary trignometric functions and see if it is possible to express them as the sum of sines and cosines:
$1.\quad\sin^2(x) = ?$

Now, to begin proving that the Fourier series is a true fact let us begin with the following hypthesis:
