With below I am getting an error (Undefined function 'symsum' for input arguments of type 'double'.)
x=[-pi:1:pi]
syms m
figure
for m=1:10
Function_5=(pi/2) + symsum(((2*(-1)^m-1)*cos(m.*x)/pi*m^2),m,0,10)
plot(Function)
hold on
end

alpha = 8;
m = (1:alpha).';
f = @(x) 2/pi + sum(2 .* ((-1).^m - 1)./(pi .* m.^2) .* cos( m.*x ), 1);
fplot(f, [-pi pi])

syms x m
figure
for alpha=1:10
Function_5 = (pi/2) + symsum(((2*(-1)^m-1)*cos(m.*x)/pi*m^2),m,0,alpha);
fplot(Function_5, [-pi pi], 'DisplayName', "\alpha = " + alpha);
