Andre-Marie Ampere (1775-1836), French mathematician and physicist, 19th century
Andre-Marie Ampere (1775-1836), French mathematician and physicist, 19th century. Ampere established the laws and principles which related magnetism and electricity to each other. He was appointed Professor of Physics and Chemistry at Bourg in 1801 and Professor of Mathematics in the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris in 1809. He was celebrated for his contributions to electrodynamics. In 1881, the ampere became the name for the unit of electrical current, replacing the weber

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Andre-Marie Ampere, a brilliant French mathematician and physicist of the 19th century. Known for his groundbreaking work in electrodynamics, Ampere established fundamental laws and principles that connected magnetism and electricity. His remarkable contributions to science led to him being appointed as Professor of Physics and Chemistry at Bourg in 1801, followed by becoming a Professor of Mathematics at the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique in Paris in 1809. Ampere's portrait exudes intelligence and determination, capturing the essence of a man who dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of electromagnetism. This engraving serves as a testament to his significant impact on scientific knowledge during this era. In recognition of his immense achievements, the unit for measuring electrical current was named after him - "the ampere" - replacing its previous designation as "the weber". This further solidifies Ampere's legacy as one of history's most influential scientists. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are reminded not only of Ampere's brilliance but also his profound influence on mathematics, physics, and our understanding of how electricity interacts with magnetism. It is through individuals like Andre-Marie Ampere that we continue to push boundaries in scientific exploration today.
