When the French mathematician Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) was trying to solve a problem in heat
conduction, he needed to express a function f as an infinite series of sine and cosine function (called a
trigonometric series)
f(x) a
?(a
cosnx b
sinnx)
.(i)
We start by assuming [assume – to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it] that the
trigonometric series converges uniformly on , , - to the continuous sum function f(x):
we integrate both sides of equation (i),using term by term integration valid due
to uniform convergence,we obtain
? f(x)dx

.(ii)
To determine a n for n 1 ,we multiply both sides of equation
f(x) a
?(a
cosmx b

.(iii)
bycosnx (since,|cosnx| 1 ,therefore uniform convergence of the series is not
destroyed,and so term by term of integration is justified) and intergrate term
by term from to

Definition A trigonometric series of the form
a

..(vi)
Is called Fouries series of a function f periodic with 2 if the Fourier coefficients a 0, a n, b n are determined by
(ii) , (iii) & (v)
note Since,|a

| |b
|, n 1
by ei erstrass
s,M test,it follows that,if the series ?(|a
| |b

converges,
then the trigonometric series (vi)converges absolutely and uniformly in , , -
and it is the Fourier series of a continuous 2 periodic fuction f(x).Moreover

Alternative way of defining Fourier Series
A series is
+? (a
cosnx b
sinnx) is called a trigonometric series and the constant a 0, a n &b n are
called coefficient. If this series converges its sum is periodic and its period is 2 .
(ii) let f be bounded and integrable on , , - then the series
+? (a
cosnx b
sinnx) where
a n =
? f(x)cosnxdx
? n 0, 1, 2 ..
and b n =
? f(x)sinnxdx
? n 0, 1, 2 .. (1)
is called the Fourier series of the function on , , ] and the coefficient is given by the equation (1) are
called Fourier coefficient of the function.
Imp.thm. Let f R R be such that
(i) f is bounded and integrable on , , ]
(ii) The function f is piece wise monotonic on , , ]
(iii) f is periodic with period 2 i.e. f(x+2 ) = f(x) ? x ? R
