OBJECT: UNDERSTANDING FOURIER SERIES USING MATLAB.

Task 1: Generate a Square wave by using trigonometric form of Fourier Series for up to seven
harmonics.

CODE:

f=1
w=2*pi*f
t=0:0.01:1
y=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)+(1/11)*sin(11*w*t)
+(1/13)*sin(13*w*t)
plot(t,y)
