In the following fourier series, how the red marked numbers are calculated?
Answer
The easiest way to verify this equality is to work from the right hand side. Expand it into a Fourier series, and check that the result is the series on the left. Then appeal to an appropriate theorem on the pointwise convergence of Fourier series; Dirichlet's theorem is tailor-made for this case.
But if you insist on working from left to right, then complex analysis can help. The function sin(2k−1)x is secretly the imaginary part of exp((2k−1)ix)=z2k−1 where z=exp(ix). Then use the Taylor series
2∞∑k=1z2k−12k−1=log1+z1−z
but watch out: our z is right on the border of the disk of convergence. Finally, use the fact that the map w=1+z1−z sends the unit disk onto the right half-plane, and the imaginary part of log picks up the argument of w. Said argument is ±π/2 when w is on the boundary of the right half-plane...
The last, but not the least: try to type formulas instead of posting images. It's not that hard.
