Use normalized Fourier coefficients and the inner productThe functions are orthonormal. Hence the Fourier partial sum is the orthogonal projection onto the trigonometric polynomials of degree at most . For any such polynomial , orthogonality givesso .
Given , the permitted density result supplies a trigonometric polynomial with . Once includes its degree,Therefore the Fourier partial sums converge to in the normalized norm, giving exactly the stated mean-square limit.
