Abstract. Baron Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier (21 March 1768 – 16 May 1830), born in poor circumstances in Auxerre, introduced the idea that an arbitrary function, even one defined by different analytic expressions in adjacent segments of its range (such as a staircase waveform) could nevertheless be represented by a single analytic expression.

The Fourier Series is a series of origonometric terms which converges to a periodic function over one period. The Fourier Integral is the limiting form of a Fourier Series when the period of the periodic function tends to infinity.
