The question stated:

2. Use Matlab to demonstrate summing of a finite number of terms of a Fourier Series ... pick a fun time function with a discontinuity to illustrate Gibbs phenomena. How does the Gibbs overshoot behave as the number of terms in the FS increases?

The function chosen was a sawtooth wave with frequency 1.

k = 5

k = 10

SawtoothK25.png

k = 25

SawtoothK50.png

k = 50

SawtoothK100.png

k = 100

As the number of terms in the FS increased the overshoot became more pronounced around k = 25, but around k = 100 it smoothed out and adhered more to the look of a sawtooth wave.
