Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot
June 1, 1796 - August 24, 1832
Nicolas Carnot was born on June 1, 1796 in Paris, France. He was the son of Lazare Nicolas Marguerite Carnot. When Sadi was born his father was a member of the Directory, which was the French Revolutionary government. Sadi was brought up in a rough evironment of clashing politics and sciences. His father retired from his position as napoleon's minister in order to devote his time to educating his two sons. At the age of 16 Sadi was sent to Lycee Charlemagne in Paris in order to prepare him for the testings to get into Ecole Polytechnique. At this young age of 16 he entered the Ecole Polytechnique, two years later at the age of 18 he graduated from there. After this he took a two year course in military engineering.
Some years later Sadi went to visit his father since he was exiled after the defeat of Napoleon. During his visit of his father they spoke in great detail of a steam engine that had come through where his father lived. This filled Sadi with great excitement as he had plan to develop a theory for steam engines. Once he returned to Paris he began immediatley working on the mathematical theory of heat. This lead to the start of the modern theory of what we know today as thermodynamics. Sadi's first piece that he worked on was a mathematical expression for the work done by one kilogram of steam. This research done my Sadi was never published to the public. It wasn't until later that Sadi finally published something on his works.
When his father died his brother, Hippolyte Carnot came to Paris in order to help his brother finish his book on steam engines that he was currently working on. Sadi's book was finally published in 1824, and in his book was the theory of the "Carnot Cycle"
In 1827 he was called back into the military to work as a military engineer which he did for less than one year. He quickly retired and moved back to Paris to continue his work on the theory of heat. In 1832 Sadi Carnot became very sick with the cholera epidemic and he died one day after getting cholera, at the young age of only 36. Carnot is known as the father of thermodynamics. He was the first person to show the relationship between work and heat.
On September 13, 1986, Jonathan Wayne Nobles broke into a home in Austin, Texas and stabbed to death Mitzi Nalley and Kelly Farquhar, who were both in their early twenties. Ron Ross, while attempting to intervene, was also stabbed by Nobles nineteen times but survived losing only an eye. Nobles was sentenced to death for murder and was executed after twelve years on death row. While in prison Nobles became a pin pal of Steve Earle, a popular country music singer, and author of this essay. Earle struggled with drug addiction in the past and had spent some time in prison himself. Earle is familiar with life behind bars and is well aware of the changes people can go through while locked up. In the essay “A Death in Texas” Steve Earle writes about
Jean Piaget became fascinated with the reasons behind why children cannot correctly answer questions that require logical thinking. Piaget was the first psychologist to conduct an organized study of the intellectual advancement in children. Before Piaget’s study, many believed children were merely less efficient thinkers than adults. Due to his study, however, Piaget proved children think in remarkably different ways than adults. Children are born with a very primitive mental complex that is genetically inherited and learned on which all the following knowledge and learning is based (McLeod, 2015).
Laplace was the child of a worker agriculturist. At a young age, he immediately demonstrated his scientific capacity at the military foundation in Beaumont. In 1766 Laplace entered the University of Caen, yet he cleared out for Paris the following year, without taking a degree. He touched base with a letter of proposal to the mathematician Jean d'Alembert, who helped him secure a residency at the École Militaire, where he educated from 1769 to 1776.
Atlantic journalist Nicholas Carr confesses that he feels something has been “tinkering with his brain.” The internet, he fears, may be messing with our minds. We have lost the ability to focus on a simple task, and memory retention is steadily declining. He is worried about the effect the internet has on the human brain, and where it may take us in the future. In response to this article, Jamais Cascio, also a journalist for the Atlantic, provides his stance on the issue. He argues that this different way of thinking is an adaptation derived from our environment. Ultimately, he thinks that this staccato way of thinking is simply a natural evolution, one that will help to advance the human race.
July 9th, 1856 (famousscientists.org). He earned degrees in law and started to practice as an ecclesiastical lawyer. After obtaining his formal degrees, he took private lessons in mathematics and sciences, including chemistry. He later became the professor of mathematic physics at the University of Turin. Unfortunately, that time for him was shortcoming because of political mayhem. He lost his job in 1823. He then was reappointed to his post and retired in 1850, at the age of 74.
Henri Le Chatelier had grown up in a family background with a vast amount of knowledge about science and technology as his family included architects, scientists and engineers as well. He had come from a Roman Catholic Family, and he had five siblings (1 sister and four brothers). Henri’s mother had raised him and his siblings in a very strict fashion, where discipline and respect were to be implemented. His father, Louis Le Chatelier and relatives were a major influential role model for Henri, as they contributed towards the origin of the Martin-Siemens steel and iron industry, railway production, mining, and the French aluminum industry. This had a key impact on the way Henri’s career advanced.
Napoleon Bonaparte was outstanding military leader and the first emperor of France. He was born in Corsica a little island that belongs to the French. During Napoleons, early years he went to studied at the military college of Brienne. Then he went on to a military academy in Paris “In 1785, while Napoleon was at the academy, his father died of stomach cancer. This propelled Napoleon to take the reins as the head of the family.” (Biography.com Editors, para.4)
Bonaparte was born in Corsica and trained as a military officer in. He became a commander
He gave public lectures, and took part in public discussions. He would also go on to discover the nature of a pendulum, and make a hydrostatic balance. His lectures were earning him fame, and he was invited to speak at the Florentine Academy. His lecture was successful and he was asked to come back.
2nd I will tell you about Charles de Gaulle. He was born November 22, 1890 and was a French military leader and he was born in Lille France. His mother and fathers name was Henri de Gaulle and his mother’s name was Jeanne Maillot de Gaulle. His brother’s name is Pierre de Gaulle, his other brother’s name is Jaquse, his sister’s name is Marie Angus de Gaulle and his other sister’s name is Xavier de Gaulle (Charles de gaulle).
Marcellin Champagnat was born on 20 May 1789 in the village of Le Rosey near the city of Lyon in France. Due to the French Revolution, many children did not attend school regularly including Marcellin. Marcellin noticed the lack of care and respect teachers showed their students and realised that many young people had little religious or academic education. Marcellin was determined to fight the illiteracy and spiritual poverty caused by the violence and chaos of the Revolution.
Jean Sylvain Bailly was born on 15 September, 1736 in Paris, France. His father was a painter at the louvre and Bailly originally intended to follow, until the works of Nicolas de Lacaille attracted him to science according to www.biographybase.com. He is best known for being an astronomer, the president of the third estate, and the first mayor of Paris. He was killed by way of guillotine on November 12, 1793.
On returning to Glasgow as professor in 1756, Black met up with James Watt (of steam engine fame), and this seems to have stimulated the next phase of his work involving the concept
Napoleon was born on August 15, 1769, in Corsica, France. He journeyed to france for schooling when he was just nine years old. He was very patriotic about his mainland and tried to help it out as much as possible. He was persecuted for his actions. Napoleon ended up at the military college of Brienne, where he studied for five years. He graduated early from the schools after his father died of stomach cancer. This began his rise into power.
Pierre-Simon Laplace was born on March 23, 1749 in France (Pierre-Simon Laplace, 2000). He was a mathematician and astronomer who made great findings that contributed to mathematical astronomy and probability (Pierre-Simon Laplace, 2000). Not much is known about Laplace’s childhood because he rarely ever talked about his early days (Marquis de laplace, 2013). However, it is known that his family was middle-class and rich neighbors paid for him to attend school when they realized how talented the boy was (Pierre-Simon Laplace, 2000). He married Marie-Charlotte de Courty de Romanges at 39 years old (Pierre-Simon laplace, 2013). They had a son in 1789 and a daughter in 1792 (Pierre-Simon laplace, 2013). Pierre-Simon Laplace died on March 05, 1827 in Paris (Pierre-Simon Laplace, 2000).
