Tutorial 1

This document contains a university mathematics department tutorial worksheet on Fourier series. It includes exercises to find the Fourier series representations of various periodic functions over different intervals and to deduce properties of infinite series from the Fourier series. Examples include finding the Fourier series of f(x)=x^2, piecewise defined periodic functions, and expressing values of pi as infinite series using the Fourier representations.
