Chapter 4
Fourier Series

In this chapter we shall discuss Fourier series. These infinite series occur in many different areas of physics, in electromagnetic theory, electronics, wave phenomena and many others. They have some similarity to – but are very different from – the Taylor’s series you have encountered before.
