Gabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise du Chatelet, 1706-1749 was a great French Physicist & Mathematician at a time when females rarely knew anything of these subjects. She was the first scientist to predict infra-red radiation and she translated Newton’s Calculus into French and at the same time developed some new proofs. Perhaps her greatest achievement was her discovery and proof that the energy of a moving object was not proportional to its velocity as had been claimed by Newton and all other scientists of the say. She showed them that it was proportional to the square of the velocity. She was a bit of a libertine and had an affair with Voltaire among others. Tragically, she died in childbirth at the age of only 43.
