Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

Fourier's law

Heat flux is proportional to the negative gradient of temperature -- heat flows from hot toward cold.

Fourier's law states that heat flux $\phi$ is proportional to the negative temperature gradient: $\phi = -k\nabla u$ , with $k>0$ the material's thermal conductivity.
