Abstract:

We discuss a class of trigonometric functions whose corresponding Fourier series, on a conveniently choosen interval, can be used to calculate several numerical series. Particular cases are presented and two recent results involving numerical series are recovered.

Keywords: numerical series; Fourier series; sum of series
