But what is a Fourier series? From heat flow to drawing with circles | DE4
Fourier series turn a messy, real-world initial condition—like a discontinuous step in temperature—into a controlled sum of simple, rotating...
But what is a partial differential equation? | DE2
The heat equation turns the everyday idea of heat flowing from warm to cool into a precise rule for how an entire temperature profile evolves over...
Fourier Transform 13 | Fourier Series Converges in L²
Fourier series for 2π-periodic, square-integrable functions converge in the L² sense: as n→∞, the L² norm of the difference between a function f and...
Fourier Transform 5 | Integrable Functions
Fourier analysis for 2π-periodic functions hinges on choosing the right function spaces—especially the integrability conditions that make inner...
Fourier Transform 8 | Bessel's Inequality and Parseval's Identity
Fourier series in the square-integrable setting come with a clean geometric guarantee: the partial Fourier sums act like orthogonal projections, so...
Fourier Transform 2 | Trigonometric Polynomials [dark version]
Fourier series set up approximations of periodic functions by building them from sine and cosine waves, and the key move is to standardize everything...
Fourier Transform 6 | Fourier Series in L²
Fourier series in the square-integrable setting are built by projecting a function onto a finite-dimensional space spanned by orthonormal...
Fourier Transform 10 | Fundamental Example for Fourier Series
A single, carefully chosen “step” function is enough to prove Parseval’s identity for all square-integrable (L2) functions—once the Fourier...
Fourier Transform 11 | Sum Formulas for Sine and Cosine
A precise closed-form expression for a cosine Dirichlet-type series is derived and then used to extend convergence results all the way to the...
Fourier Transform 18 | Dirichlet Kernel
Dirichlet kernel DN sits at the heart of Fourier series: it turns a Fourier partial sum into an integral (or convolution/inner product) against DN,...
Fourier Transform 6 | Fourier Series in L² [dark version]
Fourier series in the L² setting are built as orthogonal projections onto a finite-dimensional space spanned by sines and cosines. Once the inner...
Fourier Transform 14 | Uniform Convergence of Fourier Series
Fourier series typically converge in an L2 sense, meaning the “average squared error” over a period goes to zero, but point-by-point convergence is...
Fourier Transform 8 | Bessel's Inequality and Parseval's Identity [dark version]
Fourier coefficients in L2 don’t just come from integrals—they measure how much of a function lies in the span of the first 2n+1 complex...
Fourier Transform 16 | Calculating Sums with Fourier Series
A carefully chosen 2π-periodic parabola lets Fourier series turn hard-looking infinite sums into clean, closed-form identities involving powers of π....
Fourier Transform 20 | Gibbs Phenomenon
Gibbs phenomenon is the stubborn, built-in overshoot that appears when a Fourier series approximates a function with a jump discontinuity—and it does...
Fourier Transform 17 | Pointwise Convergence of Fourier Series
Fourier series don’t just converge in an average (L2) sense—they also converge point-by-point under a set of local “one-sided” smoothness conditions....
Fourier Transform 11 | Sum Formulas for Sine and Cosine [dark version]
A key payoff of the proof is an explicit closed-form for the cosine-weighted Dirichlet-type...
Fourier Transform 18 | Dirichlet Kernel [dark version]
Dirichlet kernel D_n sits at the heart of Fourier series: it turns a partial Fourier sum into an integral (or convolution/inner product) built from...
Fourier Transform 10 | Fundamental Example for Fourier Series [dark version]
A single, carefully chosen step function is enough to prove Parseval’s identity for all square-integrable functions—because the Fourier-series...
