The general orthogonal series is represented by the equations:
This general formulation includes as special cases all of the commonly studied trigonometric fourier series. It includes as well, infinite series that involve Legendre Polynomials, Bessel functions, and other "Peoples Polynomials" such as Lagurre, Hermite, and Tchybecheff's polynomials.
This site gives links to files that may be used in conjunction with Mathematica to compute partial sums of all of these series and to study convergence properties for them. You may click on one of the following links to simply view plots of various partial sum approximations of some example functions.
