These are the function, whose value repeats after a fixed constant interval called period, and which makes a class of a widely used function.
A function f of x, such that:
f(T + x) = f(x) ∀ x ε domain of f.
The least positive real value of T for, which above relation is true, is called the fundamental period or just the period of the function.
e.g. for f(x) = sin x ∀ x ε R.
We know that sin (2∏ + x) = sin x, ∀ x ε R
so f(x) = sin x is a periodic function with a period of 2∏ radians.
