Assignment - MATH2001 - Mod II - Fourier Series (2019-20) Odd

1. The document provides 10 questions regarding Fourier series expansions of various functions. The questions involve expanding functions in Fourier series, obtaining Fourier series representations of functions like the full-wave and half-wave rectifiers, square waves, and deducing properties of the Fourier coefficients and series. 2. Some examples include expanding the function f(x) = x cos x on the interval -π ≤ x ≤ π, representing the full-wave rectifier |sinx| as a Fourier series, and obtaining the Fourier series for the half-wave rectifier and square wave functions. 3. Properties of the Fourier series and coefficients are deduced from the expansions, including evaluating infinite sums of coefficients and using
