Fourier Expressions

62 Views Asked by At

In the Fourier series, what are all the ways we can express:

  • $\displaystyle\sin\left(\frac{n\cdot\pi}2\right)$
  • $\displaystyle\cos(n\cdot\pi)$

I know we can express

  • as $(-1)^{(n+1)}$, and
  • as $(-1)^n$.

What other forms are there? I have seen a question where there has been a $\cos(n\cdot\pi)$, which when put back in the series had been changed to $\cos((2m+1)x)$. Could somebody explain this please?
