remembrance of the Montreal Massacre. Marc Lepine, the shooter, took the lives of many victims as well as his own, at the school of Polytechnique in Montreal. Because of his hatred of feminism, he felt compelled to kill fourteen of the female engineering students as well as any other female students or faculty who got in his way. Through the powerful film of “Polytechnique” and the credible facts of “The Seven Minute Life of Marc Lepine,” one could not help but to see a victim in Lepine, whose fate
enrolled at the Ecole Centrale du Pantheon. This school was the best secondary school of Paris at the time. The curriculum of the school was mostly classical languages. Cauchy was a very young and ambitious student and also very brilliant. As he went through school he won many prizes in Latin and Humanities. Despite his many successes, Augustin-Louis decided to proceed his life and pursue an engineering career. He then prepared himself for the entrance examination to the École Polytechnique.

Education in France France is a nation focused on culture. It is in many ways the "cultural capital of the world". France has always been an inspiration for many artists. Due to its strong culture and other moral factors, France is a country afraid of change and its education system is subject to this fear. In France today, the education system is very similar to what it has been in the past. As other nations take steps to reform and improve their educational facilities France must be willing

Charles Hermite was an amazing French mathematician. He was known for his work with Abelian and elliptic functions, and for the many discoveries he made. He was originally treated unfairly because of his disorder, but he eventually proved that he was incredibly smart and capable of great things. Hermite went to many schools and had many tutors to complete his education. It took him many years to find a job that truly suited his creative and mathematic mind. Also, he made huge accomplishments in the
Sophie Germain was a French mathematician, a philosopher, and a physicist born during the revolution period. During this time woman did not have the right to do as much things as men did. Her family was wealthy but she had to work harder to be recognized as a mathematician being she was a girl. She studied acoustics, elasticity, and the theory of numbers. Sophie struggled with being these things because of the social prejudices during this time. Despite the many challenges Sophie faced during this
Joseph Achille Le Bel Joseph Achille Le Bel was a French Chemist who was born January 21, 1847, and died August 6, 1930 in Paris. Joseph had an interesting personal life. He studied at a French school called Ecole Polytechniques in Paris. Achille also had a very successful professional career with many great findings. Le Bel worked in stereochemistry in which he achieved many accomplishments. Joseph Achille Le Bel was born on January 21, 1847, and raised in Pechelbronn, France where he grew up
undergraduate degrees, obtaining them in 1867 and 1868. Le Chatelier then attended École Polytechnique a year later, in 1869, before transferring to the mining engineering program at École des Mines in Paris, graduating in 1873. Three years later, Le Chatelier married Genevieve Nicolas, and they had seven children (Lette, 2007). Le Chatelier worked as a mining engineer in Paris, and in 1877, he became a chemistry lecturer at Écoles des Mines. Le Chatelier had a personal laboratory, where he contributed to

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
father and grandfather, Antoine César, were Scientist. His father worked with solar radiation and his grandfather invented a electrolytic method for extracting metals from their ores. As I said before he went to two colleges which were École Polytechnique and École des ponts Paris Tech. At these colleges he studied both chemistry and physics and soon joined the government department in 1874. He was also appointed a professor at the Department of Natural History at the Paris Museum (Henri Becquerel
attended College Rollin in Paris. While being there, he had received an undergraduate degree in the year’s of1887 and 1868. One year later, on October 25th, 1869 he had decided to follow the same path as his father previously had, and enrolled at Ecole Polytechnique where he had attained excellent results. The next year, during September of 1870, Le Chatelier... ... middle of paper ... ...d equilibrium will be reached quicker than usual. 6. Noble Gases Example: H2(g) + I2(g) + He(g) = 2HI(g) + He(g)
theology and philosophy . Eiffel went to College Sainte-Barbe in Paris so that he may prepare for the entrance exams to the engineering colleges that he wanted to go to. Because his scores were not good enough, Eiffel couldn’t go to Ecole Polytechnique so instead he went to Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in Paris. He chose to specialize in chemistry in his second year. He graduated 13th of the 80 candidates in 1855. His first job after graduation was working as an unpaid assistant to his brother-in-law
Paraphrased from the same source material as above, His first educational experience came from Pallais’s school, which was under the leadership of a local music teacher. His next stop on the expedition for education was a military school by the French name Ecole Royale Militaire of Auxerre. During his time there, he expressed many great qualities in the field of literature; however, by the age of thirteen he discovered mathematics which belittled any interest in literature (famous people). From this point
While researching the greatest chemists that have ever lived, I could not help but notice one who was missing from the list. Boyle, Mendeleev, and Lavoisier were on everyone’s list; and rightfully so, but I believe that people overlook the outstanding work of Henry Louis Le Chatelier. Le Chatelier studied chemistry extensively in school and made great discoveries as a teacher of the science at colleges in France. He is most known for the principle named after him: Le Chatelier’s Principle, which
Joseph-Louis Lagrange was a mathematician and astronomer from the eighteenth century. Lagrange was not very interested in mathematics in his early life. It was not until he was a teenager that he became involved with mathematical study. He became curious about mathematics when he read a copy of Edmond Halley's 1693 work on the use of algebra in optics. Joseph-Louis Lagrange was one of the most renowned mathematicians in the eighteenth century. He contributed greatly to the progression of mathematics
This amazing man, founder of sociology, Auguste Comte was born on January 19, 1798 in Paris France. He grew up in the wake of the French Revolution where society expierenced violent conflict and feelings of alienation. He didn’t believe in religion nor royalty and because of the era he grew up in he spent much of his time coming up with a philosophy for a new social order for everything that was happening. Auguste was born to Rosalie Boyer and Louis Comte, both monarchists and devout Roman Catholics
