Explore the visual Fourier analysis of a string with fixed ends, including 10 and 100 harmonics. Understand harmonic contributions to the waveform and how changing amplitudes affect it. Delve into amplitude, frequency, time, and influence of phase on the waveform. Learn from Joseph Fourier's theory and find Fourier analysis applets.

Fourier Analysis • Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) Any periodic vibration can be build from a series of simple vibrations whose frequencies are harmonics of a fundamental frequency, by choosing the proper amplitude and phase.
