% PLOTABSSIN Plot h(x)=|sin(x)|, and the ninth partial sum of its Fourier % series, on the interval [-4,4]. % build partial sum: x = linspace(-4,4,2001); % Matlab needs x coordinates to plot C = 1/(2*pi); % normalization constant y = (4) * C*ones(size(x)); % constant term for k=1:4 % n=2k; thus n=0,1,2,...,8 y = y + (8/(1-4*k*k)) * C*cos(2*k*x); end plot(x,abs(sin(x)),'--',x,y) legend('h(x)','ninth partial sum') set(gca,'XTick',[-pi 0 pi]) % shows interval [-pi,pi] clearly set(gca,'XTickLabel',['-pi'; ' 0 '; 'pi ']) % mere beautification
