Abstract
From Fresnel we move to his landlord Ampère, known already in our pages as a mathematician but now to take his major place for his contributions to the founding of electromagnetism and electrodynamics, in a frenzy of activity carried out between 1820 and 1827. As with Fresnel’s Chapter 13 and Fourier in Chapter 9, one figure dominates, and so a fairly close chronology can be followed.
