The Fourier series is used to analyze arbitrary periodic functions by showing them as a composite of sines and cosines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A function is considered periodic if &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = x(t+T)\, &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; T \neq 0 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The exponential form of the Fourier series is defined as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_n e^{{j2\pi nt}/T} \, &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Determining the coefficient &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_n \,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_n e^{{j2\pi nt}/T} \, &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The definition of the Fourier series&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-T/2}^{T/2} x(t)\, dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_n \int_{-T/2}^{T/2} e^{{j2\pi nt}/T} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Integrating both sides for one period. The range of integration is arbitrary, but using &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-T/2}^{T/2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; scales nicely when extending the Fourier series to a non-periodic function&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-T/2}^{T/2} x(t) e^{{-j2\pi mt}/T} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_n \int_{-T/2}^{T/2} e^{{j2\pi nt}/T}e^{{-j2\pi mt}/T} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_n \int_{-T/2}^{T/2} e^{{j2\pi (n-m)t}/T} dt&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Multiply by the complex conjugate&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-T/2}^{T/2} x(t) e^{{-j2\pi mt}/T} dt = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_n \frac{Te^{{j2\pi (n-m)t}/T}}{{j2\pi (n-m)}} \bigg|_{-T/2}^{T/2} = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty \alpha_n T\delta_{n,m} = T\alpha_m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \frac{Te^{{j2\pi (n-m)t}/T}}{{j2\pi (n-m)}} \bigg|_{-T/2}^{T/2} = T\frac{e^{j\pi(n-m)}-e^{-j\pi(n-m)}}{j2\pi(n-m)} = T \frac{\sin\pi(n-m)}{\pi(n-m)} =  \begin{Bmatrix} T, n=m \\ 0, n\ne m \end{Bmatrix} = T\delta_{n,m}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
** Using L&amp;#039;Hopitals to evaluate the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{T\cdot 0}{0}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; case. Note that n &amp;amp; m are integers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_m = \frac{1}{T}\int_{-T/2}^{T/2} x(t) e^{{-j2\pi mt}/T} dt &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Linear Time Invariant Systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Must meet the following criteria&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Time independance&lt;br /&gt;
*Linearity&lt;br /&gt;
**Superposition (additivity)&lt;br /&gt;
**Scaling (homogeneity)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Dot Product, Complex Conjugates, and Orthogonality==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:300px-Scalarproduct.gif |thumb|300px|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Geometrically, the dot product is a scalar projection of a onto b &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \vec a \cdot \vec b = \left | a \right \vert \left | b \right \vert \cos \theta&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arthimetically, multiply like terms and add&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (3,2,1)\cdot(5,6,7)=3\cdot5^*+2\cdot6^*+1\cdot7^*&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lets imagine that we are only have one dimension&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a+jb)\hat i \cdot (a+jb)\hat i \ne a^2+b^2 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to get the real parts and imaginary parts to multiply as like terms, we need to take the complex conjugate of one of the terms&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; (a+jb)\hat i \cdot (a-jb)\hat i = a^2+b^2 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To test for orthogonality, take the complex conjugate of one of the vectors and multiply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \phi_n (t) \phi_m^* (t) dt = 0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Changing Basis Functions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We&amp;#039;d like to change from &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^{j2\pi nt/T} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; to &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \sum_{m=0}^{\infty} c_m \cos \left (\frac{2\pi mt}{T}+\Theta_m \right) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^{j2\pi nt/T} = \underbrace{ \sum_{n=-\infty}^{-1} \alpha_n e^{j2\pi nt/T} }_{n&amp;#039;=-n} + \; \alpha_0 \; + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^{j2\pi nt/T} = \underbrace{\sum_{n&amp;#039;=1}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^{j2\pi nt/T}}_{m=n&amp;#039;} + \; \alpha_0 \; + \underbrace{\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha_n e^{j2\pi nt/T}}_{m=n}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \alpha_0 + \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} \left (\alpha_m e^{j2\pi mt/T} + \alpha_{-m} e^{-j2\pi mt/T}\right) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we assume &amp;lt;math&amp;gt; x(t) \in \Re \ \forall \ m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, then to make the imaginary parts cancel out&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_{-m} = \alpha_m^* &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; u + u^* = 2 \Re [u] &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_{m} = | \alpha_m |e^{j\phi m} \,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \alpha_0 + \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} 2 \Re \left[\alpha_m e^{j2\pi mt/T}\right] = \alpha_0 + \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} 2 \Re \left[|\alpha_m| e^{j\phi m}e^{j2\pi mt/T}\right] = \alpha_0 + \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} |\alpha_m|2 \Re \left[e^{j(2\pi mt/T+\phi m)}\right]= \alpha_0 + \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} |\alpha_m|2\cos \left (\frac{2\pi mt}{T} + \phi_m \right ) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Changing variables&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; c_0 = \alpha_0 \,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; c_m = 2 | \alpha_m| \,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \Theta_m = \phi_m \,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; = \sum_{m=0}^{\infty} c_m \cos \left (\frac{2\pi mt}{T}+\Theta_m \right) &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Identities==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{j \theta} = \cos \theta + j \sin  \theta \, &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; Euler&amp;#039;s identity linking rectangular and polar coordinates&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\sin x = \frac{e^{jx}-e^{-jx}}{2j} \,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\cos x = \frac{e^{jx}+e^{-jx}}{2} \,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \left \langle \ Bra \mid Ket \ \right \rangle = Ket \cdot Bra &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt; \alpha_{-m} = \alpha^* \,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
