Introduction
Fourier Analysis
Any reasonably behaved periodic function, g(t) with period T can be constructed as the sum of a (possibly infinite) number of sines and cosines:
where f = 1/T is the fundamental frequency, an and bn are the sine and cosine amplitudes of the nth harmonics , and c is a constant
