Fourier Series

Description

Demonstrates how a square wave can be decomposed into and reconstructed from sine waves. Individual harmonic components animate in one by one, and the running partial sum curve updates to show convergence toward the square wave.

Phases

# Phase Name Duration Description
1 Setup 5s Title, axes, show target square wave in white
2 1st Harmonic 7s Show sin(x) term, animate addition to sum, display formula term
3 3rd Harmonic 7s Add (4/3π)sin(3x), update sum curve, compare to square wave
4 5th Harmonic 7s Add (4/5π)sin(5x), convergence clearly improving
5 7th Harmonic 7s Add (4/7π)sin(7x), Gibbs phenomenon visible at jump
6 Full Formula 8s Show Σ (4/nπ)sin(nx) formula, mention n=1,3,5,...
7 Summary 5s Overlay of square wave and partial sum, convergence annotation
