Etymology
Named after French mathematician and physicist Joseph Fourier (1768-1830), who pioneered research into such series and their application to problems of heat transfer and vibration.
Noun
*
en mathematics analysis Any series resulting from the decomposition of a periodic function into terms involving cosines and sines (or, equivalently, complex exponentials).

As we have seen (pp. 369—370), the question of the necessary and sufficient conditions under which the Fourier series of an integrable function converges and represents the given function is one which presents very great difficulties.

There are excellent discussions of Fourier series and integrals in Katznelson [10] and Dym and McKean [4]. The book by R. E. Edwards [5] is an exhaustive study of Fourier series from a more modern perspective.
