+Consider any arbitrary periodic function in the interval $[-\pi,\pi]$. This can be represented as a series of values at various points in the interval. For example,
+$ f(0) = ... , f(0.1) = ..., f(0.2) = ... $ and so on. At each point, we can assign any real number (i.e. $\in \mathbb R$). So, the number of possible periodic functions in an interval is of the order of $\mathbb R^{\mathbb R}$.

#<b>Why Fourier decomposition 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:
