Q: In this task, you are given a context paragraph, a question based on that and corresponding answer of a question. Your task is to generate supporting fact/knowledge from context paragraph which helps in answering a given question.
In mathematics, Fourier analysis ( ) is the study of the way general functions may be represented or approximated by sums of simpler trigonometric functions. Fourier analysis grew from the study of Fourier series, and is named after Joseph Fourier, who showed that representing a function as a sum of trigonometric functions greatly simplifies the study of heat transfer. Question: The Pinsky phenomenon is a result in a branch of mathematics named after who? Answer: Joseph Fourier
