Teaching graphical simulations of Fourier series expansion of some periodic waves using spreadsheets
Iqbal Singh, Bikramjeet Kaur · Physics Education · 2018
Abstract The present article demonstrates a way of programming using an Excel spreadsheet to teach Fourier series expansion in school/colleges without the knowledge of any typical programming language. By using this, a student learns to approximate partial sum of the n terms of Fourier series for some periodic signals such as square wave, saw tooth wave, half wave rectifier and full wave rectifier signals.
