Convergence of Parametric Fourier Series Approximations
Author: Stone Allen
This project consists primarily of a MATLAB function and complementary Java application. Its objective is to demonstrate the ability of Fourier Series to approximate an arbitrary dataset, with increasing precision, and to show the convergence of the Fourier approximation onto the original data. The result is an interactive set of programs which illustrate this convergence geometrically with discrete parametric equations. Users can select a set of two signals, (x(t), y(t)), which are steadily reconstructed using more and more terms of their Fourier Series and displayed graphically via MATLAB.
