Hi all,

How do I compute the Fourier series coefficients for unit periods for cos(pi)x, the interval is from -1/2 to 1/2. I know the formula but I am getting a wrong answer ?

hi kakolukia786! :wink:

show us your full calculations, and then we'll see what went wrong, and we'll know how to help! :smile:
 


I was able to figure it out myself. Thanks anyways
