trouble resolving a integral for calculating a Fourier series



There is an article on the Maxima wiki that shows how to do a Fourier series.

Hope this helps,

Subject: trouble resolving a integral for calculating a Fourier series


Hello, I'm trying to calculate a Fourier series but I'm having trouble calculating the integrals.
Maxima isn't calculating, i think i have to somehow simplify the vi(t) function but can't see how.

The problem starts with: a0:2/T*integrate(vi(t),t,-T/2,T/2); - (its located towards the end)

but probably has to do with how i define vi(t), or more likely va(t).

I'm stuck there right now, so would appreciate any help :)
thanks
