Fourier, Joseph (1768-1830) A French-born physicist, mathematician, and teacher Fourier accompanied Napoleon s expedition to Egypt, where he served as secretary of the Egyptian Institute and was a m or contributor to Description of Egypt, a massive work describing the scientific findings that resulted from the French military campaign. After returning to France, Fourier explored numerous scientific fields but is best known for his extensive research on the conductive properties of heat and for his theories of equations, which influenced later physicists and mathematicians. [Pg.2006]

The son of a tailor, Joseph Fourier was a member of a large family. Both of his parents died by the time he was nine. His education began at a local, church-run, military school, where he quickly showed talent in his studies and especially in mathematics. His school persuaded him to tram as a priest. While preparing to take holy orders he taught his fellow novices mathematics. Fourier may well have entered the priesthood, but due to the French Revolution new priests were banned from taking holy orders. Instead he returned to his home town of Auxerre and taught at the militaiy school. His friend and mathematics teacher, Bonard, encouraged him to develop his mathematical research, and at the end of 1789 Fourier travelled to Paris to report on this research to the Academic des Sciences.

Since we deal with a periodic pattern, it is possible to apply a technique that was originally invented by the French physicist and mathematician Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-1830). Fourier was the first who showed that every periodic process (or an object like in our case) can be described as the sum (a superposition) of an infinite number of individual periodic events (e.g. waves). This process is known as Fourier synthesis. The inverse process, the decomposition of the periodic event or object yields the individual components and is called Fourier analysis. How Fourier synthesis works in practice is shown in Figure 4. To keep the example most simple, we will first consider only the projection (a shadow image) of the black squares onto the horizontal a-axis in the beginning (Figure 3). [Pg.236]
