The Fourier cosine series and Fourier sine series use the respective forms
Their Fourier coefficients, obtained from Fourier orthogonality, are
In particular the constant term is . The Fourier cosine series is the Fourier series of the even extension , made -periodic. The Fourier sine series is the Fourier series of the odd extension, equal to for and for , again made -periodic.
