Periodic function

From AoPSWiki

We say that a single-variable function f is periodic with period p if for all x, f(x + p) = f(x). The most common examples of periodic functions are the trigonometric functions, such as sine and cosine (and their reciprocal functions cosecant and secant, respectively), which are periodic with period 2\pi.
