2. There are too many functions which
can be represented in form of infinite
series but in modern science and
engineering many problem connected
with oscillation, which require to
express
in terms of sine and
cosines known as a Fourier series .
3. It has a very wide application
infield of digital signal processing
,wave forms of electrical fields,
vibrations, and conduction of heat
and etc.
Mathematician and physicist
has used it very
first time in theory of heat
conduction.

11. 1. Even functions:
let f(x) be a function defined over
the symmetrical interval –L ≤ x ≤ L.
Then the function f(x) is said to be
even if
f(-x) = f(x).
12. When is a even function then is a
even and is an odd function.

13. If function ƒ(x) is an even periodic function with the
period 2L (–L ≤ x ≤ L), then ƒ(x)cos(nпx/L) is even
while ƒ(x)sin(nпx/L) is odd.
Thus the Fourier series expansion of an even periodic
function ƒ(x) with period 2L (–L ≤ x ≤ L) is given by,

14. 2.Odd functions:
let f(x) be a function defined over
the symmetrical interval
–L ≤ x ≤ L. Then the function f(x)
is said to be odd if
f(-x) = -f(x).
16. If function ƒ(x) is an even periodic function with the
period 2L (–L ≤ x ≤ L), then ƒ(x)cos(nпx/L) is even
while ƒ(x)sin(nпx/L) is odd.
Thus the Fourier series expansion of an odd periodic
function ƒ(x) with period 2L (–L ≤ x ≤ L) is given by,

If a function f is defined only on 0 < x < L, we
can make arbitrary definition of the function on
−L < x < 0.
If y = f(x) is defined on 0 < x < L,
(i) reflect the graph about the y-axis onto −L < x <
0; the function is now even. See Fig 1.
(ii) reflect the graph through the origin onto −L < x
< 0; the function is now odd. See Fig 2
(iii) define f on −L < x < 0 by f(x) = f(x + L). See
Fig 3
