May 2019 edit

  Hello, I'm TheDoDahMan. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Fourier sine and cosine series have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Thanks. TheDoDahMan (talk) 20:57, 28 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
