Finding coefficient of Fourier cosine series … [closed]
$begingroup$
This example from "Walter A Strauss-Partial differential equations _an introduction-Wiley(2009)" book page 108.
My question is : from where the nonzero coefficient come if $sin(mpi)=0$

For $m=0$, you can't take the integral normally since otherwise, you would get a division-by-zero error for $frac{2}{mx}$. Thus, instead, we have to plus in $m$ before we take the integral:
$$int_0^lcosleft(frac{0cdot pi x}{l}right)dx=int_0^l1dx=l$$
(Note that I used $cos 0=1$ in the first step to simplify.)
This leads to a non-zero coefficient for $m=0$.
