Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier, mathematician and engineer Fourier invented the series named after him in order to solve problems involving the heat equation. The publication of the work was delayed, because the academy did not believe his claim that any periodic function has a series expansion in terms of sines and cosines. It was eventualy published, probably because it had had important uses. Fourier was in fact correct, if one ignores the technical conditions on the functions, and the sense in which the convergence is to be understood. Go to my HOME PAGE for more links.

Visit the Molecular Expressions Website Galleria Photo Gallery ... Home Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier was a mathematician and Egyptologist, most famous for his studies on heat and for the infinite mathematical series he introduced to aid in solving conduction equations. The Fourier series has since transcended its originally intended purpose, spawning many new areas of study in mathematics and physics, including the branch of optics named for him. Born on May 21, 1768, Fourier was the ninth of twelve children of a French tailor and his second wife. By the time he was ten years old, both of Fourier's parents had died. He was an excellent student, however, showing early promise in mathematics. Yet, he decided to train for the priesthood and began study with the Benedictines in 1787. He never took his vows, but assumed a position teaching mathematics at the Benedictine College where he had studied. By 1793, Fourier had found another interest, becoming involved in politics and the French Revolution. He was imprisoned for a time and almost went to the guillotine, but Robespierre was beheaded first, which led to many political changes and Fourier's eventual release. He then studied in Paris and later accepted a teaching position at the Polytechnic School in the same city. In 1798, Fourier accompanied Napoleon and his troops to Egypt as a scientific adviser and for the next several years he studied Egyptian antiquities in addition to his more militaristic duties. When he returned to France he compiled the materials and held various administrative posts under Napoleon who made him a Baron in 1809.

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.

Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier(1766 -1844) 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. Fourier trained for the priesthood but did not take his vows. Instead took up mathematics studying (1794) and later teaching mathematics at the new ole Normale. In 1798 he joined Napoleon's army in its invasion of Egypt as scientific advisor. He helped establish educational facilities in Egypt and carried out archaeological explorations. He returned to France in 1801 and was appointed prefect of the department of Isere by Napoleon. He published Théïrie analytique de la chaleur in 1822 devoted to 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. In this he introduced the representation of a function as a series of sines or cosines now known as Fourier series. Fourier's work provided the impetus for later work on trigonometric series and the theory of functions of a real variable.

Fourier and the theory of heat Diane Greco, M. A., Massachusetts Institute of Technology By 1800, alternatives to the caloric hypothesis appeared and, in 1811, Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) published a mathematical theory of heat conduction that was entirely independent of the caloric hypothesis. Fourier's first step was to avoid speculation about "caloric." In this way, Fourier set the study of the theory of heat in the tradition of rational mechanics, basing it on differential equations that characterized the transmission of heat, equations that were independent of all physical hypotheses. In contrast to Poisson (who was, as mentioned above, a devoted Laplacian, committed to physical mechanics and to the existence of caloric), Fourier focused on heat flow , using differential equations to express how much heat diffused from a substance over time. The heat transmitted between two molecules was proportional to the difference in their temperature and a function of the distance between them, which of course varied with the nature of the intervening substance. Though formally (that is, mathematically) equivalent to Poisson's model, Fourier did not rely upon any speculation about the nature of heat. For Fourier, what was important was not what heat was, but what it did, in a given experimental setting. Others considered heat in terms of its relation to work, and especially in terms of steam engine efficiency. Sadi Carnot, for example, observed that heat cannot flow directly between contiguous parts of a steam engine that are at different temperatures. From this observation, he concluded that the maximum theoretical efficiency of a steam engine depends only on temperature differentials between the heat reservoirs between which it runs, and not on the nature of the gas inside it. In a different way, James Prescott Joule also considered heat and work, arguing that the work developed by a heat engine is obtained from the very destruction of heat in other words, heat and work have a reciprocal relationship in which energy is conserved.

Home Geschichte Mathematiker Zitate ... Einstein sagt A. Einstein, A. Calaprice Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier geboren 1768 in Auxerre, gestorben 1830 in Paris. Seit 1807 beschäftigte sich Fourier mit dem Problem der Wärmeleitung. 1822 erschien seine "Théorie analytique de la chaleur". Von da ab waren Temperatur und Wärmetransport berechenbar, dabei halfen Fourierreihen und Fourierintegrale. Anfangs hatte Fourier Schwierigkeiten, seine Theorie gegen Einwände von Laplace, Poisson und Biot zu behaupten. Ausser Franz Neumann und Lord Kelvin waren später Heaviside und Hamilton von Fouriers Buch begeistert, Hamilton stellte ihn über Lagrange, Laplace, Cauchy und Poisson [Whittaker 1951, , 130]. Heutzutage werden Fouriertechniken in allen Zweigen der Naturwissenschaften angewandt. Fourier begründete auch die physikalische Dimensionsanalyse. 1831 schrieb er ein Buch über "Die Auflösung der bestimmten Gleichungen" (dtsch. Ostwalds Klassiker Nr.127). Literatur: Arago schrieb seine Gedächtnisrede 1833 auf Grund seiner langjährigen Bekanntschaft [Werke dtsch. , 234-296], Herivel seine Biographie [1975] auf Grund sorgfältiger historischer Studien. Kürzere Darstellungen von Fouriers Werk und Leben findet man mancherorts, z.B. Bell [167, S.194ff].

The profound study of nature is the most fertile source of mathematical discoveries. ~ Quoted in M Kline, Mathematical Thought from Ancient to Modern Times. Born: March 21, 1768 in Auxerre, Bourgogne, France Died: May 16, 1830 in Paris, France Joseph Fourier's father was a tailor in Auxerre. After the death of his first wife, with whom he had three children, he remarried and Joseph was the ninth of the twelve children of this second marriage. Joseph's mother died went he was nine years old and his father died the following year. His first schooling was at Pallais's school, run by the music master from the cathedral. There Joseph studied Latin and French and showed great promise. He proceeded in 1780 to the Ecole Royale Militaire of Auxerre where at first he showed talents for literature but very soon, by the age of thirteen, mathematics became his real interest. By the age of 14 he had completed a study of the six volumes of Bézout's Cours de mathematique. In 1783 he received the first prize for his study of Bossut's Méchanique en général. In 1787 Fourier decided to train for the priesthood and entered the Benedictine abbey of St Benoit-sur-Loire. His interest in mathematics continued, however, and he corresponded with C L Bonard, the professor of mathematics at Auxerre. Fourier was unsure if he was making the right decision in training for the priesthood. He submitted a paper on algebra to Montucla in Paris and his letters to Bonard suggest that he really wanted to make a major impact in mathematics. In one letter Fourier wrote
