Heat Equation on Circle

Solve the heat problem on the circle u_t = ku_{xx} u(x,0) = phi(x) where phi(x) is the 2l periodic extension of phi using the separation of variables. I am able to go as far as u = XT -X''/X = lambda where lambda = beta^2 usually the solution for X'' + beta^2 * X = 0 is Ccos(beta * L) + D sin ...continues

Sine to cosine to exponents transition in Fourier analysis.

Could one please explain the sin-cos to exponents transition in Fourier analysis?

Heat Problem on the Circle

So I am able to get to u(x,t) = sum_{n=-infty}^{infty} Cexp(iBx - ktB^2) + Dexp(-iBx - ktB^2) because the general series is sum_{n=-infty}^{infty} X(x)T(t) You have 1 coefficient in your general series, yet I have 2. How do I get it into 1?

Normal modes

Could you please show me how to do the problem attached? You don't have to do the first part (proving solutions to the wave equation by a separation of variables) as I know how to do that. Please start where it asks what is a normal mode, etc... Thank you.
