There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

In Mathematics what is meant by the Fourier series?

The Fourier series is a specific type of infinite mathematical series involving trigonometric functions that are used in applied mathematics. It makes use of the relationships of the sine and cosine functions.


Is the infinite sum of continuous function continuous?

An infinite sum of continuous functions does not have to be continuous. For example, you should be able to construct a Fourier series that converges to a discontinuous function.


What are the limitation of fourier series?

what are the limitations of forier series over fourier transform


Can a discontinuous function can be developed in the Fourier series?

Yes. For example: A square wave has a Fourier series.


How does the graph of Fourier Series differ to the graph of Fourier Transform?

You can graph both with Energy on the y-axis and frequency on the x. Such a frequency domain graph of a fourier series will be discrete with a finite number of values corresponding to the coefficients a0, a1, a2, ...., b1, b2,... Also, the fourier series will have a limited domain corresponding to the longest period of your original function. A fourier transforms turns a sum into an integral and as such is a continuous function (with uncountably many values) over the entire domain (-inf,inf). Because the frequency domain is unrestricted, fourier transforms can be used to model nonperiodic functions as well while fourier series only work on periodic ones. Series: discrete, limited domain Transform: continuous, infinite domain.
