The sawtooth wave (or saw wave) is a kind of non-sinusoidal waveform. It is so named based on its resemblance to the teeth of a saw. The convention is that a sawtooth wave ramps upward and then sharply drops. However, in a `reverse (or inverse) sawtooth wave`, the wave ramps downward and then sharply rises. It can also be considered the extreme .....

(from the article `sound`) The synthesis of a complex wave from its spectral components is illustrated by the sawtooth wave in Figure 9. The wave to be synthesized is shown by ...

So named as the shape of this wave (when pictured through an oscilloscope) resembles that of the jagged teeth of a saw. It differs from the Square wave described above in that it contains both even and odd harmonics (giving it a strident, somewhat aggressive quality).
