1. Jacques Charles

   Jacques Alexandre César Charles (November 12, 1746 – April 7, 1823) was a French inventor, scientist, mathematician, and balloonist. Charles wrote almost nothing about mathematics, and most of what has been credited to him was due to mistaking him with another Jacques Charles, also a member of the Paris Academy of Sciences, entering on May 12, 1785. He was sometimes called Charles the Geometer. Charles and the Robert brothers launched the world's first unmanned hydrogen-filled gas balloon in August 1783; then in December 1783, Charles and his co-pilot Nicolas-Louis Robert ascended to a height of about 1,800 feet (550 m) in a manned gas balloon. Their pioneering use of hydrogen for lift led to this type of balloon being named a Charlière (as opposed to a Montgolfière which used hot air). Charles's law, describing how gases tend to expand when heated, was formulated by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1802, but he credited it to unpublished work by Jacques Charles.Charles was elected to the Académie des Sciences in 1795 and subsequently became professor of physics at the Académie de Sciences.

1. jacques charles

   Jacques Charles was a French inventor, scientist, mathematician, and balloonist who, during the late 18th century, made significant contributions to the field of physics. He's best known for his formulation of Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas (at a constant pressure) increases or decreases by the same proportion as its temperature. He also made notable strides in the development of hydrogen gas balloon technology.
