This is a sine wave, they say, this is a sawtooth, this is a square wave, and so on. We’re taught to look at the lines on the screen as idealised, a square wave is truly square, and the ...

An audio waveform theoretically comprised of an infinite set of odd harmonic sine waves. It is often used in sound synthesis ... See: Fourier Theorem, Oscillator. Compare: Pulse, Sawtooth Wave.
