Analysis of alternating-current waves by the method of Fourier with special reference to methods of facilitating the computations . ng use of the lemma ^ sin X + sin 2jc + sin 3^ + . . sm-sm(^ + i)- + sin (^ —i)rt; 4-sin^jc=i ^^^ . X sm - 2 the factor by which B^ is multiplied is also seen to be equal to zero. 7 Byerlys Fouriers Series and Spherical Harmonics, p. 32. 576 Bulletin of the Bureau of Stmidards Woi. There consequently remains in the second member only oneterm 2Afe^m=i sm-^^ = AJ (2n-i)-2^=, cos-^J which by (4) reduces to 2nAji, and we have finally 27^Afc = 22^=, y^ sm ——or (6) To obtain Bj, we multiply both sides of the equation for yo by2, the equation for y^ by 2 cos —, the equation for y^ by 2 cos —-etc., and add these equations. The first member of the resultingequation is 22,^=^0 ym cos . In the second member, the coefficient of ^^ is2 S^-! sm cos , ^-^ 2n 271 which we have already shown reduces to zero.

Similarly, the coefficients Bj^ of the cosine terms arefound by averaging the products of the measured ordinat
