How do I compute this limit: $\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\sin k}{k}$? [duplicate]

My task is to compute the limit of $$\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} \dfrac{\sin k}{k}$$, with Fourier-theory. The only thing I know is that $$\dfrac{\sin k}{k}$$ are the coefficients of the Fourier series $$\... user avatar 1somorph

Computing integral for Fourier coefficient.

Aim: Find Fourier coefficients of $\phi(x)=3\cos(2x)$, $x\in[-\pi,\pi]$. I have written $3\cos(2x)=\frac{3}{2}(e^{2ix}+e^{-2ix})$ using the exponential form of cosine. Then used the formula for ... user avatar 0xFun

Expressing a constant function in terms of a Fourier sine series (for initiaal boundary problem in wave equation)

So my question is motivated by the following initial boundary problem for the wave equation: \begin{align} u_{tt} &= u_{xx} \\ u(t, 0) &= u(t, \pi) = 0 \\ u(0, x) &= 1 \\ u_t(0, x) &= ... user avatar Fernando
