HINT: TRY PUSHING F11 KEY TO GET BIGGER SCREEN IF THE FLASH PROGRAM IS TOO BIG FOR SCREEN. (Put curser up in toolbar and click region before hitting F11)

This flash program shows the Fourier series as represented by a sum of complex exponentials. It assumes that you already have a good handle on the Fourier Series as a sum of sine waves and cosine waves. It also assumes that you have a good handle on complex numbers and phasors.

If you unclear about the meaning of e^jwt, I suggest that you first look at the complex number tutorial on this website. If you are unclear about the Fourier series as a sum of sine waves and cosine waves, look at the tutorial on that in this website.
