The commissions in the scientific corps of the army were reserved for those of good birth, and being thus ineligible he accepted a military lectureship on mathematics. He took a prominent part in his own district in promoting the revolution, and was rewarded by an appointment in in the Normal school, and subsequently by a chair in the Polytechnic school. Fourier went with Napoleon on his Eastern expedition in , and was made governor of Lower Egypt. Cut off from France by the English fleet, he organized the workshops on which the French army had to rely for their munitions of war.

Joseph Fourier's father was a tailor in Auxerre. After the death of his first wife, with whom he had three children, he remarried and Joseph was the ninth of the twelve children of this second marriage. Joseph's mother died went he was nine years old and his father died the following year. His first schooling was at Pallais's school, run by the music master from the cathedral. There Joseph studied Latin and French and showed great promise. He proceeded in 1780 to the Ecole Royale Militaire of Auxerre where at first he showed talents for literature but very soon, by the age of thirteen, mathematics became his real interest. By the age of 14 he had completed a study of the six volumes of Bézout's Cours de mathematique. In 1783 he received the first prize for his study of Bossut's Méchanique en général. In 1787 Fourier decided to train for the priesthood and entered the Benedictine abbey of St Benoit-sur-Loire. His interest in mathematics continued, however, and he corresponded with C L Bonard, the professor of mathematics at Auxerre. Fourier was unsure if he was making the right decision in training for the priesthood. He submitted a paper on algebra to Montucla in Paris and his letters to Bonard suggest that he really wanted to make a major impact in mathematics. In one letter Fourier wrote

It has extensive experience in multimodal interaction and software architecture modelling for interactive systems. The group is the author of the PAC model, a conceptual architecture model that captures software engineering issues such as modularity and modifiability, as well as properties motivated by cognitive modelling such as task interleaving and multimodal interaction. The group is involved in the design and implementation of augmented objects that blend together physicality with virtuality. It is designing an framework for supporting the adaptation of user interfaces to the variability of interactional devices. Joëlle Coutaz

Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier
Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier was a mathematician and Egyptologist, most famous for his studies on heat and for the infinite mathematical series he introduced to aid in solving conduction equations. The Fourier series has since transcended its originally intended purpose, spawning many new areas of study in mathematics and physics, including the branch of optics named for him. Born on May 21, 1768, Fourier was the ninth of twelve children of a French tailor and his second wife. By the time he was ten years old, both of Fourier's parents had died. He was an excellent student, however, showing early promise in mathematics. Yet, he decided to train for the priesthood and began study with the Benedictines in 1787. He never took his vows, but assumed a position teaching mathematics at the Benedictine College where he had studied. By 1793, Fourier had found another interest, becoming involved in politics and the French Revolution. He was imprisoned for a time and almost went to the guillotine, but Robespierre was beheaded first, which led to many political changes and Fourier's eventual release. He then studied in Paris and later accepted a teaching position at the Polytechnic School in the same city. In 1798, Fourier accompanied Napoleon and his troops to Egypt as a scientific adviser and for the next several years he studied Egyptian antiquities in addition to his more militaristic duties. When he returned to France he compiled the materials and held various administrative posts under Napoleon who made him a Baron in 1809.
