    How do I plot this periodic step function with GNUplot?

    \sum_{k=0}^{∞} (t-2k) [u(t-2k)-u(t-2(k+1))] = f(t) where u is the step function and the graph of this is supposed to be 45 degree lines repeating to infinity. Sort of like / / / / / / / / / ad infinitum. I took this equation out of this lecture note on page 10. Fig 5.4 is supposedly the graph...
