Fourier Approximations and Music

For this module, there are two computer algebra system files for each system. When you click on the button below corresponding to your preferred computer algebra system (CAS), this will launch the CAS and will load a file corresponding to Parts 1-4 of this module. In Part 5, you will have the opportunity to download the second file.

Contents
