Surprisingly Simple: The Complex Fourier Series

Prof. Dr. Dirk Schieborn

The complex Fourier series is the same series, just written as a single sum. Cosine and sine live on in counter-rotating pairs of pointers whose imaginary parts cancel.

Surprisingly Simple: The Complex Fourier Series
An explainer film in five chapters: how a bit of formula hocus-pocus turns the real Fourier series into the complex one. Cosine and sine as the midpoint of two twins on the unit circle, the rewriting step by step, and pairs of pointers whose imaginary parts cancel. Pause anywhere and ask.
How a film works on heyprof
Every film here listens. Pause it, ask it questions and let it continue with your own examples.
- PauseTap pause or press the space bar. The film waits right at that moment.
- AskTap “Ask” and type what you want to know. The answer comes inside the film, with picture and voice.
- Steer itTell it what to show, for example “Do this with z = 2 − 3i”. The film sets up the app and works it out.
- Try it yourselfWhile it is paused, drag points and sliders yourself. “Continue” takes you back into the film.
Without an account: five questions per visit. With an account you can also ask by voice.
