Understanding Fourier Series: Solving a Tricky Question with Step-by-Step Guide

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user seeking assistance with part 3 of a Fourier series question after successfully completing part 2. Another participant suggests that sharing the results from exercise 2 could aid in solving part 3. The original poster mentions having a 1/n^2 term in their Fourier series, indicating a potentially correct approach. The conversation emphasizes the importance of choosing an appropriate value for x to progress further. The thread highlights collaborative problem-solving in understanding Fourier series concepts.

hey guys,

I got this question that I am a bit stuck on. I have done question two and got the Fourier series, but have no idea how to do part 3. Any help is very appreciated.

What did you get for exercise 2? That will probably be quite useful information for solving 3!
 
Hi, I got the following for my Fourier series. I have a 1/n^2 term in there which looks good.

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
