Substituting an cos n = an; an sin n = bn into Eq. 14.1 we have
an cos nx + bn sin nx = an(cosn cos nx + sin n sin nx) = an cos(nx-n)

14.1.3
The exponential Fourier series can be real only if, for each n,
cneinx + c-ne-inx is real. Expanding the complex exponential,

cneinx + c-ne-inx = (cn + c-n) cos nx + i(cn c-n) sin nx :

This expression will be real if cn+c-n is real and cn-c-n is pure imaginary.
Writing cn = an + ibn with an and bn real, these two conditions on the cn
take the form

bn + b-n = an a-n = 0

logarithm so that S= 0
When x=0. Thus, S= ix/2i=x/2

(a) Apply to both sides of the above equation. When the px

component of the gradient is applied to within the integrand, the

(b) Two successive applications of the gradient in momentum

space produce two factors r, as shown in the text. This result can be
construed either as involving a scalar product (and
correspondingly, rr), or as the creation of a dyadic (tensor) quantity.
