In this pioneering work of mathematics, Joseph Fourier shows how
the conduction of heat in solid bodies can be analyzed in terms of
an infinite mathematical series. Known as the Fourier Series, this
was the first correct theory on heat diffusion and continues to be
used in present-day analysis. For anyone interested in the theory
of heat or in the mathematical tools developed by Fourier, this
classic work remains indispensable. Born the son of a French
tailor, JOSEPH FOURIER (1768-1830) was a mathematician,
Egyptologist, and politician whose strong influence on mathematical
physics continues to this day. His other works include Description
of Egypt and Analysis of Determinate Equations.
