Minor correction, Fourier made his breakthroughs in the early 1800's. He worked under the reign of Napoleon and continued in the decade thereafter.

And it is an important correction because Fourier was immediately able to use his technique to solve partial differential equations, but it was many decades later before it was shown how it all works with the rigorous foundation of measure theory and functional analysis.
