Ander Marie Ampere(1775-1836)
French Physisict, mathematician and chemist. Ampere v a child prodigy. He mastered advanced mathematics at the age of 12. A mix of experimental skills and theoretical acumen, Ampere performed rigorous experiments and presented his results in the form of a theory of electrodynamics, which provides mathematical formulation of electricity and its magnetic effects. Unit of current is named in his honour. Lost in his work and ideas, he seldom cared for honours and awards. Once he forgot an invitation by emperor Nepoleon to dine with him. His gravestone bears the eqitaph : Tendun felix (Happy at last). which suggests that he had to face a very hard and ungappy life. But it neber lowered his spirit of creatibity.
