This is a list of things named after Joseph Fourier:

Mathematics

 * Budan–Fourier theorem, see Budan's theorem

Analysis

 * Fourier analysis
 * Fourier series

 * Generalized Fourier series
 * Laplace–Fourier series, see Laplace series
 * Fourier–Legendre series
 * Fourier transform (List of Fourier-related transforms):
 * Discrete-time Fourier transform (DTFT), the reverse of the Fourier series, a special case of the Z-transform around the unit circle in the complex plane
 * Discrete Fourier transform (DFT), occasionally called the finite Fourier transform, the Fourier transform of a discrete periodic sequence (yielding discrete periodic frequencies), which can also be thought of as the DTFT of a finite-length sequence evaluated at discrete frequencies
 * Fast Fourier transform (FFT), a fast algorithm for computing a Discrete Fourier transform
 * Finite Fourier transform
 * Fractional Fourier transform (FRFT), a linear transformation generalizing the Fourier transform, used in the area of harmonic analysis

In physics and engineering

 * Fourier's law of heat conduction
 * Fourier number ($$\text{Fo}$$) (also known as the Fourier modulus), a ratio $$\alpha t/d^2$$ of the rate of heat conduction $$\alpha t$$ to the rate of thermal energy storage $$d^2$$
 * Fourier optics
 * Fourier-transform spectroscopy, a measurement technique whereby spectra are collected based on measurements of the temporal coherence of a radiative source
