SUMMARY
The Fourier series coefficients for a function with a period of \(2\pi T\) are modified from the standard form. The coefficients are defined as follows: \(a_0 = \frac{1}{2p} \int_{-p}^{p} f(x)~dx\), \(a_n = \frac{1}{p} \int_{-p}^{p} f(x) \cos\left(\frac{n\pi x}{p}\right)~dx\), and \(b_n = \frac{1}{p} \int_{-p}^{p} f(x) \sin\left(\frac{n\pi x}{p}\right)~dx\). The integration limits change based on the period, and the factor of \(2\) in the denominator of \(a_0\) may vary depending on the starting point of the Fourier series.
