Periodic versus non-periodic function

As part of the first homework in ECE301 this semester, we were asked to give an example of a periodic function as well as an example of a non-periodic function. Here are my answers. A precise definition of periodic function can be found on my colleague Brian Thomas' page. An animated example can be found on this page.


Please read the instructor's comments here.
