Insert the Fourier seriesinto the rectangle rule. The finite geometric sum obeysConsequently the quadrature value iswhereasThus the exact Periodic N-point rectangle-rule error is
By the Fourier coefficient decay of an analytic periodic function, there are constants and such thatIt follows thatThereforewhich is exponential, and hence spectral, convergence.
