I don't understand why cos(ntheta+ n2pi)=cos(ntheta). Can you please explain it to me? Thank you 

## Overview of Differential Equation Consideration

### Equation and Condition

Consider the differential equation:

\[ S'' + \lambda S = 0 \]

with the periodic condition:

\[ S(\theta) = S(\theta + 2\pi) \]

### Case Analysis

1. **Case 1: \(\lambda = 0\)**

   - General Solution: 

     \[ S(\theta) = C_1 + C_2 \theta \]

   - Applying the periodic condition:

     - Requires \( C_2 = 0 \), so 

     \[ S(\theta) = C_1 \]

2. **Case 2: \(\lambda = -\alpha^2 < 0\)**

   - General Solution: 

     \[ S(\theta) = C_1 \cosh(\alpha \theta) + C_2 \sinh(\alpha \theta) \]

   - This solution is not periodic, hence it is not considered further.

3. **Case 3: \(\lambda = \alpha^2 > 0\)**

   - General Solution: 

     \[ S(\theta) = C_1 \cos(\alpha \theta) + C_2 \sin(\alpha \theta) \]

   - The periodic condition \( S(\theta) = S(\theta + 2\pi) \) will hold if

     \[ \alpha = n \]

   - where \( n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots \) and \( n \in \mathbb{N} \).

### Verification

- Check using \( \cos(n\theta) = \cos(n(\theta + 2\pi)) \):

  - \(\cos(n(\theta + 2\pi)) = \cos(n\theta + n \cdot 2\pi)\)

  - \[ = \cos(n\theta) \]

This check confirms that the solution holds as expected for \(\alpha = n\).

This explanation provides a clear breakdown of each case for \(\lambda\) and ensures a thoughtful understanding of periodic solutions to the given differential equation.
