A Fourier series is an expansion of a periodic function in terms of an infinite sum of sines and cosines.

Fourier series is a college-level concept that would be first encountered in an analysis course.

Prerequisites

Power Series: A power series is a sum of powers of a variable. A power series is essentially an infinite polynomial.
Taylor Series: A Taylor series is a power series of a function around a given point.
