- Animated illustrations of the Fejer kernel (first 20 functions) and the Dirichlet kernel (first 15 functions).
- Brief note on two-sided
series
- An animated
illustration of
a Weierstrass-type nowhere differentiable
function. The one shown is with the following parameters:
(thanks due to
Daniel Markiewicz for the nice image).
And here's another animation
I found on the web.
In case you're really interested in nowhere differentiable
functions, here's a link to a master's
thesis on the history of nowhere differntiable functions (credit due
to Eitan Sayag for finding it).
- An animated
illustration of
the Gibbs phenomenon. Here you can see the first 30 partial Fourier sums
of the
function f(x)=x (which you analyze in problem set 6, question 2), as the
number of summands increases. Notice the bump on the right.
