Code:
V = 1; w = 2*pi*1;
t = 0:0.1:10;
W = 4*V/pi * (((sin (w*t)) + (1/3 * sin (3*w*t)) + (1/5 * sin (5*w*t)) + (1/7 * sin (7*w*t)) + (1/9 * sin
(9*w*t))));
plot (t,W)

Conclusion:

Our goal is to prove that the square wave is the summation of all the sinusoids in this activity. In the 5 th
harmonics, the wave looks much more like a sine wave. In the 8 th and 12th harmonics, the sine wave is
starting to look a little like a square wave. In 15 th harmonics, the wave is slowly forming a better square
waveform. I conclude that the more sinusoids we add, the better the square wave pattern we will get.
Or the best if we could add infinite sinusoids for better results.
