André-Marie Ampère (1775-1836) was a French physicist and mathematician who is best known for his contributions to the study of electromagnetism. He is one of the founding figures in the field, and his work led to the formulation of Ampère's Law, which describes the relationship between electric currents and the magnetic fields they produce. In addition to his work in electromagnetism, Ampère made significant contributions to other areas of science, including mathematics and chemistry.
