In order to fully understand what this page is all about, you're going to need some basic understanding of what a periodic function is. To ensure you have this basic knowledge please revisist my earlier submissions for homework one, but a crash course can be found at the website listed below.

Now, let's begin!

1. From sampling the values of a cosine function as described in the matlab code attached, the following periodic function, a simple line y = 1, was produced over the domain defined.

p = pi*[0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 5 5.5 6 6.5 7 7.5 8 8.5 9 9.5 10];

for i = 1:21
    for x = p(i)
        y(i) = cos(x);

for z = 1:4:21
    n(f) = y(z);
    g(f) = p(z);
    f = f + 1;
