In the study of heat conduction, the Fourier number, is the ratio of time, , to a characteristic time scale for heat diffusion, . This dimensionless group is named in honor of J.B.J. Fourier , who formulated the modern understanding of heat conduction. [ 1 ]
Fourier series, a weighted sum of sinusoids having a common period, the result of Fourier analysis of a periodic function; Fourier analysis, the description of functions as sums of sinusoids; Fourier transform, the type of linear canonical transform that is the generalization of the Fourier series
A number of authors, notably Jean le Rond d'Alembert, and Carl Friedrich Gauss used trigonometric series to study the heat equation, [20] but the breakthrough development was the 1807 paper Mémoire sur la propagation de la chaleur dans les corps solides by Joseph Fourier, whose crucial insight was to model all functions by trigonometric series ...
Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier (/ ˈ f ʊr i eɪ,-i ər /; [1] French: [ʒɑ̃ batist ʒozɛf fuʁje]; 21 March 1768 – 16 May 1830) was a French mathematician and physicist born in Auxerre, Burgundy 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 transfer and ...

An example application of the Fourier transform is determining the constituent pitches in a musical waveform.This image is the result of applying a constant-Q transform (a Fourier-related transform) to the waveform of a C major piano chord.
Depiction of how the Fourier operator acts on an input rectangular pulse (on the far right) to generate its Fourier transform (on the left-hand side), a sinc function. Any slice parallel to either of the axes, through the Fourier operator, is a complex exponential, i.e. the real part is a cosine wave and the imaginary part is a sine wave of the ...
