(ii) Using results from the course, show that the Fourier series of f
converges uniformly on R to f. Bi 3. This question is about equidistributed sequences in (0,1). To answer the
various parts you may need to refer to results in lectures. These need to be
stated clearly but no proofs need to be given.

that the sequence {z}m>1 is not equidistributed in [0, 1). [4]
