If you're serious about learning about Fourier Analysis, the book Who is Fourier?: A Mathematical Adventure is an excellent and very accessible introductory text on the subject.

To understand the FFT you first need to understand the DFT. The FFT is just a clever way of going about the DFT to reduce the runtime from O(n^2) to O(n log n).

Maybe try googling around for Cooley-Tukey explanations?

I did pick up a book a while back called "Who is Fourier?" (https://www.amazon.com/Who-Fourier-Mathematical-Adventure-2nd/dp/0964350432/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480353431&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=who+is+joseph+fourier) that did a surprisingly good job of explaining Fourier series and transforms. I am pretty sure there is a section in the book for the FFT, I can check when I get home if you're interested.

I’m deeply in love with the scientist and engineers guide to dsp I’m doing audio dsp work and this was a big help, but it applies equally to shaders. It is not a how to guide but a core fundamentals book.

Along the same lines who is Fourier is a great but very quirky introduction to the fast Forier transform.

And Designing Audio Effect Plug-Ins in C++ is a good base intro to proper audio dsp development.

True, I do seem to be asking for a very specific plan. Is it this book?

I'm asking someone to show me how to do the problem. So I know how to do it. I learned a lot from

You can solve this by inspection. The fundamental frequency is the lowest first order harmonic of all of your sin and cos terms.
100pi = 2pif0 -> f0 = 50Hz, or w0 = 100pi rads/s.
Period = 1/f0 = 20 ms.
Might I recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/Who-Fourier-Mathematical-Adventure-2nd/dp/0964350432/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1465228053&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=who+is+joseph+fourier
