Coppel, W. A. J. B. Fourier – on the occasion of his two hundredth birthday. (English) Zbl 0172.00701 Am. Math. Mon. 76, 468-483 (1969). From the text: Fourier’s work on the conduction of heat has stimulated the most diverse developments in pure mathematics. The object of the pages which follow is to trace these developments in outline. Fourier’s other contributions to mathematics, such as his work on the theory of equations and linear inequalities, will not be discussed.
