Joseph Fourier studied the mathematical theory of heat conduction. He established the partial differential equation governing heat diffusion and solved it by using infinite series of trigonometric functions.
Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier was a French mathematician and physicist born in the middle of eighteenth century in Auxerre, France. Coming from a humble background, he became an orphan by the time he was ten.
Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (March 21, 1768 – May 16, 1830) was a French mathematician, physicist and government administrator during the reign of Napoleon who is best known for his study of heat conduction, and for using series of trigonometric functions, now called Fourier series, to solve difficult mathematical problems.
May 29, 2018 · The French mathematical physicist Jean Baptiste Joseph, Baron Fourier (1768-1830), was the first to discuss in a comprehensive manner the various aspects of the flow of heat in bodies. On March 21, 1768, J.B.J. Fourier was born in Auxerre.
Baron Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier (March 21 1768-May 16, 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.
