Born:March 30, 1857, Meaux, France

Death:September 21, 1926, Paris France

He became head of the bureau des Lignes. He then found time to teach a course in mechanics at the Institut National Agronomique in Paris. He was also a violin player.

His Thevenin's theorem is still known and still used around the world Thevenin's theorem is a combination of batteries and resistances with two terminals which can be replaced by a single voltage.

Thevenin's theorem calculated currents in complex circuits and allowed people to reduce more complex electrical circuits to more simpler circuits called Thevenin's equivalent circuits.

He became interested in Problems in measurements in electrical circuits. This lead to him studying Kirchner's circuit laws and Ohm's law. He then developed Thévenin's theorem.

He took a job as a Telegraph engineer and he originally worked on developing long distance, underground Telegraph lines.

He investigated in Kirchhoff's laws as applied to electric networks. This study resulted in his formulation of the equivalent generator (Thevenin's) theorem. His theorem was made before Edward Lawry Norton's theorem.

He also investigated in Ohm's Law which he also extended it.
