Hi there. Does anybody know why Mathematica gets choked trying to solve this simple equation? (seems like an easy way to calculate Fourier series up to n=3) --------------------------------- x1=3 y1=3 x2=4 y2=4 x3=5 y3=5 x4=10 y4=-20 x5=11 y5=30 x6=12 y6=-30 x7=18 y7=0 Solve[{ y1==a0+a1 Cos[x1]+b1 Sin[x1]+a2 Cos[2 x1]+b2 Sin[2 x1]+a3 Cos[3 x1]+ b3 Sin[3 x1], y2==a0+a1 Cos[x2]+b1 Sin[x2]+a2 Cos[2 x2]+b2 Sin[2 x2]+a3 Cos[3 x2]+ b3 Sin[3 x2], y3==a0+a1 Cos[x3]+b1 Sin[x3]+a2 Cos[2 x3]+b2 Sin[2 x3]+a3 Cos[3 x3]+ b3 Sin[3 x3], y4==a0+a1 Cos[x4]+b1 Sin[x4]+a2 Cos[2 x4]+b2 Sin[2 x4]+a3 Cos[3 x4]+ b3 Sin[3 x4], y5==a0+a1 Cos[x5]+b1 Sin[x5]+a2 Cos[2 x5]+b2 Sin[2 x5]+a3 Cos[3 x5]+ b3 Sin[3 x5], y6==a0+a1 Cos[x6]+b1 Sin[x6]+a2 Cos[2 x6]+b2 Sin[2 x6]+a3 Cos[3 x6]+ b3 Sin[3 x6], y7==a0+a1 Cos[x7]+b1 Sin[x7]+a2 Cos[2 x7]+b2 Sin[2 x7]+a3 Cos[3 x7]+ b3 Sin[3 x7]}, {a0, a1, b1, a2, b2, a3, b3}] --------------------------------- Might there be a more straightforward solution? The sinus and cosinus terms evidently are fixed, so.... Gratitude beyond expression, -- Arthur Fritzsche | PowerPC advocate since 11/04/79 afritzse at limmat.ch | OS/2 forever! UNIX forever!
