Multiplying two Fourier series gives one Fourier series, but what are the new coefficients? [closed]
If I have $A(x)=B(x) C(x)$ (sine periodic from 0 to 1) rewritten as
$\sum_n A_n \sin(n \pi x)=\sum_m B_m \sin(m \pi x)\sum_p C_p \sin(p \pi x)$
is there any easier way to compute $A_n$ from $B_m,...
