Joseph Fourier From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier March 21 May 16 ) was a French mathematician and physicist who is best known for initiating the investigation of Fourier series and their application to problems of heat flow. The Fourier transform is also named in his honor. He was born at Auxerre in the Yonne d©partement of France , the son of a tailor, and was educated by the Benedictines . The commissions in the scientific corps of the army were reserved for those of good birth, and being thus ineligible he accepted a military lectureship on mathematics.

Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768 - 1830) From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier was born at Auxerre on March 21, 1768, and died at Paris on May 16, 1830. He was the son of a tailor, and was educated by the Benedictines. The commissions in the scientific corps of the army were, as is still the case in Russia, reserved for those of good birth, and being thus ineligible he accepted a military lectureship on mathematics. He took a prominent part in his own district in promoting the revolution, and was rewarded by an appointment in 1795 in the Normal school, and subsequently by a chair in the Polytechnic school. Fourier went with Napoleon on his Eastern expedition in 1798, and was made governor of Lower Egypt. Cut off from France by the English fleet, he organized the workshops on which the French army had to rely for their munitions of war. He also contributed several mathematical papers to the Egyptian Institute which Napoleon founded at Cairo, with a view of weakening English influence in the East. After the British victories and the capitulation of the French under General Menou in 1801, Fourier returned to France, and was made prefect of Grenoble, and it was while there that he made his experiments on the propagation of heat. He moved to Paris in 1816. In 1822 he published his , in which he bases his reasoning on Newton's law of cooling, namely, that the flow of heat between two adjacent molecules is proportional to the infinitely small difference of their temperatures. In this work he shows that any functions of a variable, whether continuous or discontinuous, can be expanded in a series of sines of multiples of the variable - a result which is constantly used in modern analysis. Lagrange had given particular cases of the theorem, and had implied that the method was general, but he had not pursued the subject. Dirichlet was the first to give a satisfactory demonstration of it.

It has extensive experience in multimodal interaction and software architecture modelling for interactive systems. The group is the author of the PAC model, a conceptual architecture model that captures software engineering issues such as modularity and modifiability, as well as properties motivated by cognitive modelling such as task interleaving and multimodal interaction. The group is involved in the design and implementation of augmented objects that blend together physicality with virtuality. It is designing an framework for supporting the adaptation of user interfaces to the variability of interactional devices. Joëlle Coutaz Joelle.Coutaz@imag.fr

The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. T he eighteenth century radiated a peculiar kind of genius. It gave us people like Mozart, Jefferson, Euler, and Ben Franklin. Isaac Newton led us into the astonishing eighteenth century. And Joseph Fourier might well have been the last of those greats. If you've studied math, heat flow, or acoustics, you've heard of Fourier. He was born in France in 1768. Orphaned at nine, he never-theless gained an education in math and military engineering. Then he walked a slippery path through the politics of the French Revolution. He was jailed twice along the way. Fourier went to work with astonishing energy. He built roads and engineered a land-drainage program. He also wrote papers on mechanics. He wrote a book on Egypt. Meanwhile Napoleon's reign collapsed, and he was exiled to Elba. When Napoleon tried to return to power, Fourier fled. He'd had enough entanglement. Some people are more dangerous as friends than as enemies.

No. 186: JEAN BAPTISTE JOSEPH FOURIER by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 186. Today, we meet the last great 18th-century genius. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. T he 18th century radiated a peculiar kind of genius. It gave us people like Mozart, Jefferson, Euler, and Ben Franklin. Isaac Newton led us into the astonishing 18th century, and Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier led us out of it. If you've ever studied mathematics, heat flow, or acoustics, you've heard of Fourier. The man himself was born in France in 1768. He was trained in mathematics and military engineering. Then he was caught up in the politics of the French Revolution. He was a revolutionary, but other revolutionaries jailed him when he defended victims of the Reign of Terror. In 1795, Fourier, now 27, took a faculty post at the new Ecole Polytechnique. But politics followed him, and he was jailed again. A colleague finally took him out of harm's way by finding him a foreign post with a general even younger than he was. In 1798, Fourier went off to Egypt with Napoleon Bonaparte.

He was a famous mathematician who contributed many things to mathematics throughout his distinguished career. About His Life On March 21, 1768 in Auxerre, France, Joseph Fourier was born, the son of a tailor. Born into a prominent family, he was trained for the priesthood; however, Fourier turned to the life of mathematics and the military. At only sixteen years of age, Joseph became a mathematics teacher at the military school in Auxerre. When he was 27, he began working at the Ecole Normale in Paris. Three years later, in 1798, he followed Napoleon on his Eastern expedition and was given the postion of governor of Lower Egypt. In 1801, Fourier returned to France and was named prefect of Grenoble. This was where he conducted his experiments on the propagation of heat. Moving to Paris in 1816, he published his first book, Theorie Analytique de la Chaleur

Fourier's Accomplishments Mathematical Accomplishments Fourier Analysis Established in the 1820's this branch of mathematics is often used to analyze repeating or periodic phenomena. Simple sine waves that are added together can end up producing some of the most complex and most complicated periodic wave motion. A sine wave is known as one of the simpliest of waves. All sine waves have a single frequency. By experiments Fourier found out that all periodic waves have a variety of sine waves and that they have different amplitudes and frequencies. Fourier Series Often defined as: An infinite series whose terms are constants multiplied by sine and cosine functions and that can, if uniformly convergent, approximate a wide variety of functions.
