Abstract
The relationship between Napoleon Bonaparte and the leading French scientists during his time is discussed. In a way, Bonaparte influenced the leading French mathematicians and chemists during his time because of his interest in mathematics and the sciences. Bonaparte had close relationship with the mathematician Gaspard Monge and the chemist Claude Louis Berthollet. Berthollet introduced two concepts important in chem.: reaction reversibility and chem. equil., and the role of relative masses of reactants and products in detg. the position of equil.
