Calculates and plots the Fourier Series Approximation to function f.

fseriesdemo(f,b,NN)
function [] = fseriesdemo(f,b,NN)
% FSERIESDEMO Plots a function f and it's Fourier series approximation.
% FSERIESDEMO(f,b,N) plots the function f and it's N term Fourier series
% approximation from zero to b.  FSERIESDEMO uses the FFT to approximate 
% the Trigonometric Fourier Series coefficients.  FSERIESDEMO only works
% for the function from 0 to b.  Input N must be an integer >=2.
% Example:     
%        
%           f = @(x) sin(x)./x+(cos(x)).^2-exp(x/8)+x.^(x/20);
%           fseriesdemo(f,20,100)  % Approx. f on (0,20) with 100 terms.
