Coefficients Fourier Fourier series Series Unit

AI Thread Summary

To compute the Fourier series coefficients for cos(πx) over the interval from -1/2 to 1/2, the correct formula must be applied. The discussion highlights a user initially struggling with the calculations but later resolving the issue independently. The community encourages sharing full calculations to identify errors. Ultimately, the user successfully figures out the solution without further assistance. This emphasizes the importance of thorough calculation checks in Fourier analysis.

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 ?

I was able to figure it out myself. Thanks anyways

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
