Many people give up on math in high school - they do not feel comfortable with it, or they do not see the need for it in everyday life. These "mathematically-challenged" people may have had little recourse available in the past. Now, however, there is LRF's Who is Fourier?, which takes readers gently by the hand and helps them with both simple and intimidating concepts alike. By using everyday examples it enables the reader to develop an understanding of the language of Fourier's wave analysis. For instance, Fourier Series is explained with a comparison to the contents of 'Veggie-veggie' juice!

The student authors take the reader along on their adventure of discovery, creating an interactive work that gradually moves from the very basics ("What is a right triangle?") to the more complicated mathematics of trigonometry, exponentiation, differentiation, and integration. This is done in a way that is not only easy to understand, but actually fun!

While it is user-friendly enough even for those who are "math phobic," Who is Fourier? has been enjoyed by many people in the math and science fields. The largest percentage of our readers are professors and engineers, with business people and students following closely. It is a must-have for anyone interested in mathematics, physics, engineering, or complex science. Over 60,000 copies have sold in Japan since the original publication!

"An approach to the teaching of elementary Fourier series that is innovative, conceptual and appealingly informal." --Dr. John Allen Paulos, author of Innumeracy
