520 CHAPTER 1 2 • FOURIER SERIES AND THE LAPLACE TRANSFORM
Therefore, we can use the results of Equations (12-6)-(12-9) in Equation (12-5)
to obtain
J~ U (t) cos mt dt = 7ram, for m = 0, 1, .. .,
establishing Equation (12-2). We leave as an exercise for you to establish Euler's
second formula, Equation (12-3), for the coefficients {bn}· A complete discussion
of the details of the proof of Theorem 12.1 is available in some advanced texts.
