Preferred term

Joseph Fourier  

Definition

  • Joseph Fourier (1768–1830) was a French mathematician, also acknowledged as an Egyptologist and administrator, who greatly influenced mathematical physics through his Théorie Analytique de la Chaleur (1822; The Analytical Theory of Heat). He analyzed the conduction of heat in solid bodies in terms of infinite mathematical series now called the Fourier series. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Warming & Climate Change; Fourier, Joseph]
