4*. Using the series obtained in Prob 3, show the following:
(i) 1 + 1/33 + 1/52 + = 2 /8 [use 3 (iii)]

8*. Find Fourier Series of x2 ; < x and using term by term dierentiation obtain Fourier
Series of x. What can you say about convergence of FS of x?
Nearly fty years had passed without any progress on the question of analytic representation of an arbitrary function, when an assertion of Fourier threw
new light on the subject. Thus a new era began for the development of this part of Mathematics and this was heralded in a stunning way by major developments in
