+Title: Wilbraham-Gibbs constant+Definition: The Wilbraham-Gibbs constant $G'$ is defined as $G' = \text{Si}(\pi) =+ \int_0^\pi \frac{\sin t}{t} dt$. The Gibbs constant $G$ is defined as $G'/(\pi/2)$.+Parameters:+ expression:+ title: Transformation of constant+ type: Symbolic+ show-in-parameter-list: 'no'+Comments:+ comment-Gibbs-phenomenon: If $f$ is a periodic piecewise continuously differentiable+ function with a jump of a certain size at a discontinuity of $f$, then for large+ $n$, the $n$'th partial Fourier expansion of $f$ will overshoot this jump by+ a factor of approximately $(G-1)/2$ at each side, and by a factor of $(G-1)$ in+ total.
