Homework Statement


Find the minimum number required (value of n) for the average deviation of the Fourier Series to fall below 2%


Homework Equations


Use the Uniform Convergence of Fourier Series.

Where Sm is the partial sum of the Fourier Series.
C is constant. Here C is ∏^2

So,

2∏^2/M ≤ 0.02 M≥10000 M=10000 series will give a 2.0% error.

or

2∏^2/M ≤ 2.0 M≥1000 M=1000 series will give a 2.0% error

Which of these two attempts is correct?

Thank you!

Anyone happen to know?

I'm not sure if 0.02 should represent 2% or if 2 should?

Thank you
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
