contents The exact evolution in time and space of a distribution of the temperature (or density of diffusing matter) in an isotropic homogeneous medium is determined where the initial distribution is described by a piecewise polynomial. In two dimensions, the boundaries of each polynomial must lie on a grid of lines parallel to the axes, while in three dimensions the boundaries must lie on planes perpendicular to the axes. The distribution at any position and later time is expressed as a finite linear combination of Gaussians and Error Functions. The underlying theory is developed in detail for one, two, and three dimensional space, and illustrative examples are examined.
