2. 1. Introduction
Problems involving vibrations or oscillations occur frequently in physics and engineering. You can think of examples you have already met: a vibrating tuning fork, a pendulum, a weight attached to a spring, water waves, sound waves, alternating electric currents, etc. In addition, there are many more examples which you will meet as you continue to study physics. On the other hand, Some of them – for example, heat conduction, electric and magnetic fields, light – do not appear in elementary work to have anything oscillatory about them, but will turn out in your advanced work to involve the sine and cosines which are used in describing simple harmonic motion and wave motion.
 It is why we learn how to expand a certain function with Fourier series consisting of ‘infinite’ sines and cosines. 2

3. 2. Simple harmonic motion and wave motion: periodic functions
(단순 조화운동과 파동운동 ; 주기함수)
1) Harmonic motion (단순 조화 운동)
- P moves at constant speed around a circle of radius A.
- Q moves up and down in such a way that its y coordinate is always equal to that of P.
The back and forth motion of Q
 simple harmonic motion
For a constant circular motion,
y coordinate of Q (or P): 3

4. 2) Using complex number (복소수의 사용)
The x and y coordinates of P:
Then, it is often convenient to use the complex notation.
In the complex plane,

15. 5. Fourier coefficients (Fourier 계수)
We want to expand a given periodic function in a series of sines and cosines.
[First, we start with sin(nx) and cos(nx) instead of sin(nt) and cos(nt).]
- Given a function f(x) of period 2,
We need to determine the coefficients!! 15

16. In order to find formulas for an and bn, we need the following integrals on (-, )16

19. i-1) To find a_o, we calculate the average on (-,)
Using the above integrals, we can find coefficients of Fourier series by calculating the average value.
i-1) To find a_o, we calculate the average on (-,) 19

20. i-2) To find a_1, we multiply cos x (n=1) and calculate the average on (-,).20

21. i-3) To find a_2, we multiply cos 2x (n=2) and calculate the average on (-,).21

22. i-4) To find a_n, we multiply cos nx and calculate the average on (-,).22

23. ii-1) To find b_1 and b_n, (cf
ii-1) To find b_1 and b_n, (cf. n=0 term is zero), we multiply the sin x (n=1) or sin nx and calculate the average on (-,). 23

29. 6. Dirichlet conditions (Dirichlet 조건) : convergence problem (수렴 문제)
Does a Fourier series converge or does it converge to the values of f(x)?
-Theorem of Dirichlet:
If f(x) is 1) periodic of period 2
2) single valued between -  and 
3) a finite number of Max., Min., and discontinuities
4) integral of absolute f(x) is finite,
then,
1) the Fourier series converges to f(x) at all points where f(x) is continuous.
2) at jumps (e.g. discontinuity points), converges to the mid-point of the jump. 29

30. 7. Complex form of Fourier series (Fourier 급수의 복소수 형태)
Using these relations, we can get a series of terms of the forms e^inx and e^-inx from the forms of sin nx and cos nx. 30

36. 8. Other intervals (그 밖의 구간)
1) (-, ) and (0, 2 ).
- Same Fourier coefficients for the interval (-, ) and (0, 2 ). 36

37. (Caution)
Different periodic functions made from the same function,
- same function f(x) = x^2
- different periodic with respect to the intervals, (-, ) and (0, 2 ). 37

38. 2) period 2 vs. 2l
- Other period 2l [(0, 2l) or (-l, l)], not 2 [(0, 2) ] 38

39. For f(x) with period 2l,
i) sinusoidal
ii) complex 39

40. Using the complex functions as Fourier series,
Example.
- period 2l
Using the complex functions as Fourier series, 40 40

41. Then, 41

42. 9. Even and odd functions (짝함수, 홀함수)
1) definition 42

43. - Even powers of x  even function, and odd powers of x  odd function.
- Any functions can be written as the sum of an even function and an odd function.
ex. 43

44. 2) Integration
Integral over symmetric intervals like (-, ) or (-l, l) 44

45. - In order to represent a f(x) on interval (0, l) by Fourier series of period 2l,
we need to have f(x) defined on (-l, 0), too.
- We can expand the function on (-l, 0) to be even or odd on (-l, 0).
Anything is OK!! 45

46. 3) Fourier series
- Cosine function: even, Sine function: odd.
- If f(x) is even,
the terms in Fourier series should be even.  b_n should be zero.
- If f(x) is odd,
the terms in Fourier series should be odd.  a_n should be zero. 46

47. - How to represent a function on (0, 1) by Fourier series
1) sine-cosine or exponential (ordinary method) (period 1, l=1/2)
2) odd or even function (period 2, l=1)
(caution) different period!! 47

48. (a) odd function (period 2)  Fourier sine series.
Example
(a) odd function (period 2)
 Fourier sine series.
(b) even function (period 2)
 Fourier cosine series.
(c) original function (period 1)
 Ordinary sine-cosine,
or exponential 48 48

56. 11. Parseval’s theorem (completeness relation)
Hint
1) average of (1/2a_0)^2 = (1/2a_0)^2
2) average of (a_n cos nx)^2) = a_n^2* 1/2
3) average of (b_n sin nx)^2 = b_n^2 * 1/2.
4) average of all cross product terms, a_n*b_m*cos nx*sin mx, = 0.
Similarly,
- Parseval’s theorem or completeness relation
- The set of cos nx and sin nx is a complete set!! 56
