Synopsis

Explore the foundations of heat with the master of the subject. This edition presents the core ideas, from how heat moves through solids to the laws that govern radiant and conductive transfer.

In clear, step-by-step terms, the work introduces the principle of heat movement, defines key concepts like conduction and permeability, and develops the mathematical equations that describe how temperatures evolve in different bodies. It emphasizes that the same equations arise regardless of the physical interpretation of heat, focusing on the measurable relationships and their consequences for real materials.

• How heat travels inside solids and across surfaces, including three- and six‑face boundary problems.


• The development of differential equations that model the movement of heat in rings, spheres, cylinders, and prisms.


• Important notions of penetrability, permeability, and external conduction in practical contexts.


• Analytical methods for solving heat problems and interpreting their long-term behavior.

Ideal for readers of classic physics and engineering, this edition helps you grasp the mathematical backbone of thermal theory and its real‑world implications.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

First published in 1878, The Analytical Theory of Heat is Alexander Freeman's English translation of French mathematician Joseph Fourier's Théorie Analytique de la Chaleur, originally published in French in 1822. In this groundbreaking study, arguing that previous theories of mechanics advanced by such scientific greats as Archimedes, Galileo, Newton and their successors did not explain the laws of heat, Fourier set out to study the mathematical laws governing heat diffusion and proposed that an infinite mathematical series may be used to analyse the conduction of heat in solids. Known in scientific circles as the 'Fourier Series', this work paved the way for modern mathematical physics. This translation, now reissued, contains footnotes that cross-reference other writings by Fourier and his contemporaries, along with 20 figures and an extensive bibliography. This book will be especially useful for mathematicians who are interested in trigonometric series and their applications.
