<h1>Fourier Series</h1>
<p>
This interactive sketch visualizes a Fourier series using epicycles.
Each circle represents an odd harmonic; as you add more epicycles with
the slider, the path on the right converges toward a square wave. The
rotating vectors sum to a point whose vertical position is traced over
time.
