MHB What Properties of Fourier Series Are Revealed by This Equation Transformation?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the properties of Fourier series as revealed through a specific equation transformation. The equation simplifies to a series involving sine functions evaluated at odd half multiples of π. Participants are encouraged to explore the implications of these sine values and their contributions to the series. The transformation highlights the relationship between the series and the constant π, suggesting deeper mathematical properties. Understanding these properties can enhance comprehension of Fourier series behavior and convergence.

Is there some properties I should be aware of?

after making the relevant substitutions, I ended up with

$2 = 1 + \sum\nolimits_{m=0}^\infty \frac{4}{(2m+1)\pi}\sin(\frac{(2m+1)\pi}{2})$

but I can't get past this

Rearrange to:

$$\frac{\pi}{4}=\sum_{m=0}^\infty \frac{1}{2m+1}\sin\left(\frac{(2m+1)\pi}{2}\right)$$

and ask yourself what values does the sine of odd half multiples of $$\pi $$ take?
