 Translation invariance of an integral over one period

For an integrable periodic function of period $P>0$, its integral over an interval of length $P$ is independent of the starting point. Write $a=mP+r$ with $m$ an integer and $0\le r<P$. By a change of variables and the defining identity of a periodic function,No differentiability is required. This also allows the Fourier coefficients of a periodic function to be computed on any interval of one full period.
