This paper discusses the teaching of Fourier Series concepts in undergraduate Electrical Engineering education with the help of an Android application, especially developed to that end. In order to better understand the links and implications, some of the basic Fourier series theory is briefly reviewed. The Android application has an easy-to-use, friendly interface, conceived to help undergraduate students test and assess the Fourier series expansions on a typical set of signals. The application also allows the students to control the total approximation error and the number of terms/harmonics used in the expansions. It has been found a very useful learning resource in the Fourier series context.
