When MATLAB Stopped Being Funny
Created on: April 27th, 2008
This is my final project for my MATLAB class. I have to solve this problem using MATLAB. So next time you are about to laugh at a clever KOENTMND, think about me and the fun i'm NOT having with it, and don't.

In fact, the waveform we got was a sort of curved elliptical sawtooth wave that looked like a charge as a function of time graph in a capacitor. We were given the function and it turns out that without the symbolic math features of matlab, the integrals for the coefficients were so incredibly complicated that there may not even have been solutions to them. Matlab was able to compute the integrals very quickly.
I mean, the function for one period may have been easily integrable (in our case it wasn't), but if you look carefully the a-sub-n and b-sub-n coefficients require you to multiply the integrand by a frequency-modified sine or cosine function, which if you've taken a calculus class, can completely blow up the complexity of the integral, which it did. I would have spent hours trying to compute these integrals if it weren't for matlab.
