SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the representation of polygon sine functions through Fourier series. It is established that these functions differ from traditional circular sine functions due to their non-constant amplitude. The sine function is identified as a special case within the Fourier series framework, where it consists of a single term. This highlights the mathematical relationship between polygon sine functions and Fourier analysis.

Hi!

I was wondering how I could find the equations for the bottom two functions. I understand that the amplitude is not constant like that in the circular sine function--could someone please help me out?

Thanks!

Both of them can be represented as Fourier series. Sine is special case where there is only one term in the series.
