			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the <a href="http://www.durofy.com/mathematics/the-fourier-series-an-introduction/">previous post</a> on Fourier Series, we looked at functions periodic with period 2pi. Now, we'll take a look at Fourier series for functions having an arbitary period, lets say, some period 2L.</p>
<p>The general formulas we would need for finding the Fourier series are as follows...</p>
<p>The Series:</p>
<p><img src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\150dpi%20\large%20f(x)=\frac{a_{0}}{2}+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty%20}(a_{n}cos\frac{n\pi%20x}{l}+b_{n}sin\frac{n\pi%20x}{l})"></p>
<p>The Constants:</p>
<p><img src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\150dpi%20\large%20a_{0}=\frac{1}{L}\int_{-L}^{L}f(x)dx"></p>
<p><img src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\150dpi%20\large%20a_{n}=\frac{1}{L}\int_{-L}^{L}f(x)cos\frac{n\pi%20x}{L}dx"></p>
<p><img src="http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\150dpi%20\large%20b_{n}=\frac{1}{L}\int_{-L}^{L}f(x)sin\frac{n\pi%20x}{L}dx"></p>
<p>These apply when the period given in the question are [-L, L]. We would modify the limits of integration in the above depending on the given interval.</p>
<p>Further, for functions periodic with a period 2pi, we only need to put L=pi in the above formulas. You can find those formula <a href="http://www.durofy.com/mathematics/the-fourier-series-an-introduction/">here</a>.</p>
