"The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think."

- Horace Walpole

Topic of the Day

Baron Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier

Fourier, the son of a tailor from Auxerre in France, was educated at the local military school and later at the Ecole Normale in Paris. He held posts at both the Ecole Normale and the Ecole Polytechnique where he was a very effective and influential teacher. In 1798 he accompanied Napoleon on the invasion of Egypt and later contributed to and oversaw the publication of the Description de l'Egypte (1808–25), a massive compilation of the cultural and scientific materials brought back from the expedition.
