Parseval's identity

Okay kiddo, let's talk about Parseval's identity. You know how you love to count things? Well, mathematicians also like to count things, but they use big and fancy words to do it. In this case, they are counting something called "energy". Energy is like the strength inside something, that makes it do things.

Now, sometimes mathematicians want to count energy inside of sound waves or music notes. They use something called Fourier series to break down the sound waves into different parts, kind of like taking apart a puzzle. Each part has its own energy.

Here's where Parseval's identity comes in. It's like a special formula that says if you add up all the energy from each part of the sound wave, it will be equal to the total energy of the sound wave. It's like adding up all the pieces of the puzzle to get the whole picture.

So, if we want to know how much energy is in a sound wave or music note, we can break it down into its different parts using Fourier series, and then use Parseval's identity to add up all the energy and get the total amount.

Cool, huh? Math can help us understand the strength of sound and music!
