Fourier sine and cosine series


In mathematics, particularly the field of calculus and Fourier analysis, the Fourier sine and cosine series are two mathematical series named after Joseph Fourier.

Notation

In this article, f denotes a real valued function on which is periodic with period 2L.

Sine series

If f is an odd function, then the Fourier Half Range sine series of f is defined to be
which is just a form of complete Fourier series with the only difference that and is zero, and the series is defined for half of the interval.
In the formula we have....

Cosine series

If f is an even function, then the Fourier cosine series is defined to be
where

Remarks

This notion can be generalized to functions which are not even or odd, but then the above formulas will look different.
