	Jean-Baptiste Biot
		Biot was actively engaged in the various branches of the geodetic work involved in the famous measurement of the quadrant of a meridian, for the purpose of standardizing the length of the new unit, the meter.
		As a member of the Bureau of Longitudes he went, in 1806, with young Arago, to Formentera, in the Balearic Islands, to resume the measurement of a degree of the meridian, interrupted by the death of Mechian.
		Biot discovered the laws of rotary polarization by crystalline bodies and applied these laws to the analysis of saccharine solutions.

	Jean-Baptiste Biot (1774 - 1862)
		Biot venait de terminer son premier travail, portant sur les équations aux différences mêlées, c'est-à-dire sur une catégorie de relations analytiques où entrent à la fois des différentielles ordinaires et des différences finies, sujet qui avait fait autrefois l'objet de quelques tentatives d'Euler.
		Biot fait son enquête avec un soin extrême, rapprochant les témoignages de toute nature qu'il a pu recueillir.
		Biot a dépensé de grands efforts pour développer une théorie mathématique de la lumière en partant des idées newtoniennes sur les molécules lumineuses.

	Jean Baptiste Biot - LoveToKnow 1911
		JEAN BAPTISTE BIOT (1774-1862), French physicist, was born at Paris on the 21st of April 1774.
		After serving for a short time in the artillery, he was appointed in 1797 professor of mathematics at Beauvais, and in 1800 he became professor of physics at the College de France, through the influence of Laplace, from whom he had sought and obtained the favour of reading the proof sheets of the Mecanique celeste.

	Biot, Jean-Baptiste (1774-1862)
		A French physicist who demonstrated the cosmic origin of meteorites, which had been suggested by the Swiss physicist Marc Pictet (1752-1825).
		Biot is best known for his investigations of polarized light and optical rotation, and, with Savart in 1820, for establishing a formula for the magnetic field of a long, straight, current-carrying conductor (known as the Biot-Savart law).
		In 1803 his analysis of specimens from the l’Aigle meteor shower and eyewitness reports enabled him to show beyond doubt that the stones had from space.

	Jean Baptiste Biot Biography \| scit_0512345_package.xml
		Jean Baptiste Biot is perhaps best described as a polymath who made important contributions to acoustics, optics, and electromagnetic theory during a career that also included significant work in astronomy, geodesy, and many other fields.
		Biot was born the son of a treasury official, the first in his family to rise from the peasantry to a position of social standing.
		Biot, an admirer of Isaac Newton (1642-1727), explained this result in terms of forces acting on the particles of light that comprised a light beam.

		Biot az ismert fizikussal, D. Aragóval is együttmûködött a gázok fénytörési tulajdonságainak a vizsgálatában.
		Amikor 1835-ben Biot a polarizált fényt (olyan fényt, amelynek minden hulláma ugyanabban a síkban van) tanulmányozta, azt találta, hogy többek között a cukoroldatok is elforgatják a polarizáció síkját, ha polarizált fénynyaláb halad át rajtuk.
		Jean-Baptiste Biot was educated at the École Polytechnique in Paris and became Professor of Mathematics at the University of Beauvais in 1797.

	Biot biography
		In 1809 Biot was appointed Professor of Physical Astronomy at the Faculty of Sciences.
		Biot, together with Savart, discovered that the intensity of the magnetic field set up by a current flowing through a wire varies inversely with the distance from the wire.
		With regard to M. Biot, I had an opportunity of pretty fully appreciating his character when we were together in the Zetland [= Shetland] Isles; and I do not hesitate to say that I never met so strange a compound of vanity, impetuosity, fickleness, and natural partiality, as is exhibited in his character.

	Jean-Baptiste Biot Summary
		Biot circumvented his father's plans by serving a brief stint in the army before enrolling at the École des Ponts et Chaussées in 1794.
		Biot, however, steadfastly refused to believe in light as a wave, and he turned his attention toward developing a brilliant mathematical system to support the old particle theory.
		Jean-Baptiste Biot (April 21 1774, Paris – February 3 1862, Paris) was a French physicist and mathematician who in the early 1800s studied the relationship between electrical current and magnetism (see Biot-Savart law), as well as the polarisation of light passing through chemical solutions.

		Jean Baptiste Biot was a French physicist who was born in 1774.
		He discovered that quartz crystals rotated the plane of polarization of light and upon further study concluded that the effect was the same with liquids like turpentine and solution of sugar and tartaric acid.
		He realized that the effect was a result of molecular properties of the substances and discovered Biot's Law, that the amount of rotation of the plane of polarization of light passing through an optically active medium was proportional to the length of its path and the concentration of the solution.

	Biot, Jean Baptiste (1774-1862)
		Jean Baptiste Biot obtained his early schooling at the College de Louis-le-Grand in Paris and continued it at the Ecole Polytechnique, where his teacher, Gaspard Monge, recognized his abilities.
		He began his teaching career at the Ecole Centrale de Beauvais in 1797 and after two years was appointed to a position of a professor of Mathematical Physics at the College de France.
		It is fitting that both Biot and Fourier are honored today with the concepts that are central in conduction of heat.

		Jean-Baptiste Biot (1774-1862) was a French mathematician and physicist who is regarded among the founders of the theory of electromagnetism.
		The Biot number is considered when both internal conduction and external convection are involved, and is particularly used for transient heat transfer analysis of a solid object.
		It is the ratio of the internal thermal conduction resistance of a solid compared to the external convection boundary layer resistance.

		A French physicist, best known for his work in the polarization of light, Jean Baptiste Biot was born in Paris, France, on April 21, 1774.
		Although younger, Biot worked on the analysis of heat conduction even earlier than Fourier did (1802 or 1803) and attempted, unsuccessfully, to deal with the problem of incorporating external convection effects in heat conduction analysis.
		In 1820, with Felix Savart, he discovered the law known as "Biot and Savart's Law." He was especially interested in questions relating to the polarization of light and for his achievements in this field he was awarded the Rumford Medal of the Royal Society in 1840.
