Solution Summary

Uniform an pointwise convergence of a Fourier Series is investigated on an interval and across the entire real line.

Solution Preview

fn(x)=0 if x<=n and fn(x)=x^2-n^2 if x>=n
(a) On the interval [a,b], fn(x) converges pointwise, then limit function is g(x)=0. The convergence is uniform.
Proof: For any e>0, we can find enough ...
