Consider a function f that is defined and continuous on the interval [0, 2p]. If x0, x1, x2, … , xn, … are equally spaced points in the interval, then the corresponding function values f0, f1, f2, … , fn, … shown in FIGURE 15.6.1 are said to represent a discrete sampling of the function f. The notion of discrete samplings of a function is important in the analysis of continuous signals.

In this section, the complex or exponential form of a Fourier series plays an important role in the discussion. A review of Section 12.4 is recommended.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
![A continuous function f is plotted on an x y coordinate plane on the interval [0, 2 p] wherein 2 p > 0. For equally spaced points on the x axis the corresponding values on the curve are marked with a dot and a dotted vertical line connects them to the x axis. Starting on the y axis, from left to right the dotted lines are labeled: f subscript 0, f subscript 1, f subscript 2,…, f subscript n. Two dotted lines after f subscript n are not labeled the second one being for x = 2 p. The distance between the vertical lines f subscript 1 and f subscript 2 is indicated by an accolade and labeled T. The curve starts from a point on the y axis which is above the origin rises then drops down then gradually rises again and drops down again. The curve is indicated by an arrow and labeled y = f(x). The corresponding point to the dotted line labeled f subscript n is indicated by an arrow and labeled f(n T).](/api/v2/epubs/urn:orm:book:9781284206258/files/images/ch15-9781284207972_CH15_FIGF0601.png)
