From Wikipedia
A periodic function is a function that repeats its values at regular intervals. For example, the trigonometric functions, which are used to describe waves and other repeating phenomena, are periodic. Many aspects of the natural world have periodic behavior, such as the phases of the Moon, the swinging of a pendulum, and the beating of a heart. The length of the interval over which a periodic function repeats is called its period. Any function that is not periodic is called aperiodic.
