SUMMARY
The forum discussion focuses on solving the infinite series sum of sin(nx)/n as n approaches infinity. The established results indicate that the sum equals (1/2)*(π - x) for 0 < x < π and -(1/2)*(π + x) for -π < x < 0. Participants emphasize the importance of using Fourier coefficients and the relationship between sine and cosine functions in this context. The discussion also highlights the utility of the logarithmic series in approaching the problem.
