Tutorial 4 - Fourier Series (Solution)

1. Explains how to determine if a function is odd or even based on its behavior under negation. Gives examples of functions that are neither odd nor even. 2. Shows that the integrals of cosine and sine terms multiplied together over an interval is 0 if the frequencies m and n are different. 3. Presents the general formulas for calculating the Fourier coefficients a0, an, and bn of a function f(x) over the interval L using its integral representations. Works through an example applying the formulas.
