Sep 29, 2023 · Joseph Fourier, a brilliant mathematician and scientist, revolutionized our understanding of heat conduction and climate science with his groundbreaking Fourier series and the concept of the greenhouse effect.
Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier (/ ˈfʊrieɪ, - iər /; [ 1 ]French: [fuʁje]; 21 March 1768 – 16 May 1830) was a French mathematician and physicist born in Auxerre and best known for initiating the investigation of Fourier series, which eventually developed into Fourier analysis and harmonic analysis, and their applications to problems of heat transfe...
Mar 29, 2018 · Among them was Joseph Fourier. After his return to France in 1801, Fourier began experiments on the diffusion of heat. He developed a partial differential equation — the heat equation — which describes how the temperature in a conductor changes over time.
Joseph Fourier (born March 21, 1768, Auxerre, France—died May 16, 1830, Paris) was a French mathematician, known also as an Egyptologist and administrator, who exerted strong influence on mathematical physics through his Théorie analytique de la chaleur (1822; The Analytical Theory of Heat).

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.
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.
