The book presents an unabridged translation of Joseph Fourier's influential 1822 work on heat, originally written in French. It delves into the mathematical analysis of heat transfer and introduces Fourier series, which have become fundamental in various scientific fields. This treatise not only explores the theoretical aspects of heat but also lays the groundwork for modern mathematical physics, making it a significant historical document in the study of thermodynamics and mathematical analysis.
