Content:

Let $f$ be a Riemann integrable function from $[-\pi,\pi]$ to $R$. The equation
$$\frac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f^2(x)dx = \frac{(a_0^f)^2}{2} + \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}[(a_k^f)^2+(b_k^f)^2],$$
where $a_0^f$, $a_k^f$, $b_k^f$ are the Fourier coefficients of the function $f$, is usually known as Parseval's equality or Parseval's theorem.
