This module includes a table of common discrete fourier transforms.
Introduction
Once one has obtained a solid understanding of the fundamentals of
Fourier series
analysis and the
General Derivation of the Fourier Coefficients , it is useful to have an understanding of the common signals used in Fourier Series Signal Approximation.
Deriving the coefficients
Consider a square wave f(x) of length 1. Over the range [0,1), this can be written as

The number of terms in the Fourier sum is indicated in eachplot, and the square wave is shown as a dashed line over two
periods.
Real even signals

Deriving the coefficients for other signals
The Square wave is the standard example, but other important signals are also useful to analyze, and these are included here.
Constant waveform
This signal is relatively self-explanatory: the time-varying portion of the Fourier Coefficient is taken out, and we are left simply with a constant function over all time.
Fourier series approximation of a constant wave
Sinusoid waveform
With this signal, only a specific frequency of time-varying Coefficient is chosen (given that the Fourier Series equation includes a sine wave, this is intuitive), and all others are filtered out, and this single time-varying coefficient will exactly match the desired signal.

Triangle waveform
This is a more complex form of signal approximation to the square wave. Because of the
Symmetry Properties of the Fourier Series, the triangle wave is a real and odd signal, as opposed to the real and even square wave signal. This means that

Sawtooth waveform
Because of the
Symmetry Properties of the Fourier Series, the sawtooth wave can be defined as a real and odd signal, as opposed to the real and even square wave signal. This has important implications for the Fourier Coefficients.

Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
