Joseph Fourier 1768-1830

Joseph Fourier 1768-1830

Muriel Cooper, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1972

Description

This is the first substantial publication of Fourier, 19th century French physicist. The material, typographic and facsimile, is extremely complex and incorporates multiple cross referencing systems, translations, and commentaries. Wide margins, following the original style of Fourier’s manuscript, permit room for additional notes to clarify the text.
