Understanding “Almost Everywhere” Through the Example of a Square Wave

Introduction The term “almost everywhere” is a key concept in measure theory and Lebesgue integration.Simply put, saying a property holds “almost everywhere” means that the set of exceptions where the property does not hold has a measure of zero.In this article, we’ll explore the concept of “almost everywhere” using the example of a square wave. …

Why Multiplying Negative Numbers Results in a Positive Number: A Fourier Series Perspective

Introduction In school, we learn that “multiplying a negative number twice results in a positive .” In other words: This is a familiar algebraic rule, but it can be interesting to explore why this is true from a different perspective—such as through the lens of Fourier series and the exponential representation of complex numbers. In …
