Émile Verdet
Marcel Émile Verdet (13 March 1824 – 3 June 1866) was a French physicist. He worked in magnetism and optics, editing the works of Augustin-Jean Fresnel. Verdet did much to champion the early theory of the conservation of energy in France through his editorial supervision of the Annales de chimie et de physique.

gollark: > [be]cause why notWell, because of the... several hours a week of extra work.
gollark: Further Maths + Maths is, apparently, only an A-level and 3 quarters in terms of workload, so that's less bad.
gollark: I'm doing four (Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Computer Science) and that's kind of stretching it as I will be quite lacking in free periods compared to those doing three and some of the complementary studies options.
gollark: So how are you meant to do *five*? Is there even time for that?
gollark: My school barely lets you do *four*.
