Downvoted for asking a genuine question?
- mkl 8y agoI think it's because it looks like you didn't read the article, which explains repeatedly that this is a theorem of universality. Any continuous function will work, and sin is continuous. Check this out: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/rfaqogkbmy https://www.desmos.com/calculator/rfaqogkbmy Try changing f(x) to "sin(x)" or whatever you like (e.g. sin(10x) may be more interesting). Then drag the sliders for w (how step-like the purple pieces are) and n (how many pieces to add together). The function f(x) is red, and the approximation is blue.
