  • Fourier Series: Finding a Fourier Series Representation of a Function
    In this video, I demonstrate how to find the Fourier Series representation of a simple piecewise function with a period of 2. The process is lengthy but essential to understand for anyone studying Fourier analysis and its applications. Although I do not provide a proof for the coefficients' formulas, I use the theoretical background from earlier videos (check out the playlist for more). By the end of this video, you'll be able to break down a function into its Fourier series components and gain insight into the representation of periodic functions.
    If you enjoy my videos and find them helpful, please subscribe, like, comment, and share with your friends, teachers, or parents! Your support helps the channel grow, and I truly appreciate it!
    What You Will Learn:
    How to find the Fourier coefficients for a piecewise function.
    How to set up and evaluate the integrals for coefficients.
    Understanding the sine and cosine series that make up a Fourier series.
    Applying the formulas for a_n and b_n and a_0 to represent a function.

    Test in 2 hours. 1) Open the channel. 2) Watch the video. 3) Done in 20 minutes. 4) Practice. 5) Ace the test. Thanks Patrick!

    I've struggled with this for 6 months and you've made it clear in 20 minutes. I don't have words to thank you enough.

    what I find neater, is not the function, but the fact you have helped hundreds and thousands of people with maths. I reckon you'd feel pretty good about that Patrick.. Thanks for the video it's really appreciated!

    I saw your video about the revenue cut and being a Patron. I then remembered this particular video. If it hadn't been for this video I don't know how Continuous and Discrete Signal Analysis test would have gone. So thank you Patrick for teaching me how to compute the Fourier Series Representation of a Function. I am heading over to Patreon Now as all of your math videos have helped me more in life than my $10 netflix account or my $10 spotify account. Good luck!

    Thank you so much, the step by step progression that you use makes everything so incredibly clear when previously it looked like a whole bunch of random equations thrown together with no continuity.

  • @DescartesRenegade
    @DescartesRenegade 10 лет назад +7

    This topic alone was the reason why I dropped my Quantum Mechanics class. This was never taught to me and for the life of me I could not understand it. The last 20 minutes was perhaps the best spent time in my life thus far.

  • @AidenGerhart
    @AidenGerhart 3 года назад

    Missed a few days of class from being sick, so I was completely lost when I came back and everyone was talking about Fourier series and nothing else I looked at helped me understand it whatsoever
    You're a total lifesaver, man

  • @HuangDarren
    @HuangDarren 11 лет назад +143

    2L = period. (standard formula)
    And since period = 2.
    2L = 2.
    and L =1.

    Seriously you basically taught me the entire Calc Series and Linear 1 and now this is saving me in Linear 2. THANK YOU. So blessed to have such a clear way of learning this material available to me through your videos. So helpful, you have no idea how many of my fellow engineering friends have used these videos to learn!

    Really thank you man .. you helped me a lot with Math
    One thing I noticed , when you calculate a0 there is a mistake in the integration

    But really nice job

    @Neo55378008 12 лет назад

    What really made shit a brick was when I was doing circuit analysis in one of my physics classes and found out that low/high/band pass filters work off the Fourier series! It's not just a mathematical tool (which I could be mistaken but I think that's all Fourier thought it was), but an actual correct physical representation of a lot of cool stuff!

    Definitely enjoying this series. I think some of it is going over my head, but it makes me think, and it's good to have the challenge of trying to digest something new. It means when I do come to it properly in the course of my studies or later on, it'll be partially digested already :)

    • @faris9
      @faris9 8 лет назад

      +Richard Opoku Actually the x is then substituted with 1 and 0 from the definite integral, so it become 1/2(1-0) = 1/2
      I actually thought the same thing then realised that I was wrong
