Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier. Born: 21 March 1768 in Auxerre. Died: 16 May 1830 in Paris. Fourier trained as a priest and nearly lost his head (literally) in the French revolution. He is best known for his work on heat conduction. Fourier established the equation governing diffusion and used infinite series of trigonometric functions to solve it. Fourier was also a scientific adviser to Napoleon's army in Egypt.
