A geometrical proof of sum of $\cos n\varphi$

History and Overview 2017-03-17 v1

Abstract

In this article, we present a geometrical proof of sum of cosnφ\cos n\varphi where nn goes from 11 up to mm. Although there exist some summation forms and the proofs are simple, they use complex numbers. Our proof comes from a geometrical construction. Moreover, from this geometrical construction we obtain an other summation form.
