The Analytical Theory of Heat
Classical treatise by Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (21 March 1768 – 16 May 1830), a French mathematician, Egyptologist and physicist. Fourier was the first to discuss in a comprehensive manner the various aspects of the flow of heat in bodies. Mathematical theory of heat conduction launched him into celebrity with the publication of his 1822 work “The Analytical Theory of Heat” (Théorie analytique de la chaleur). This masterpiece covered the hitherto unexplored field of heat propagation and contained the mathematical techniques which later were developed into a special branch of mathematics - Fourier analysis and Fourier integrals.
