Joseph Fourier
Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 20 Jan 2022 at 03:17:33 (UTC)
- Reason
- Joseph Fourier, a very prominent mathematician. Orphaned at the age of nine in 1770s, his work is used today on anything that has to do with motion, vibration, impact, etc. (examples: quantum physics, ocean waves, spaceships, digital signals, radio waves, car brakes, engines). His work significantly advanced physics, engineering and mathematics. For details see [1] [2] [3]. The image needs a bit of restoration which I will do if this nomination gets a couple of supports.
