On August 2nd, 1882, Duhem began his science studies despite his parents' beliefs and the direction they wanted him to go in. Duhem attended the college of École Normale, which is currently ranked at #244 in Best Global Universities. -

"Le Potentiel Thermodynamique et ses Applications à la Mécanique Chimique et à l'Étude des Phénomènes Électriques," Pierre Duhem's most important work, was published in 1886. This book provided details for his energetics theory, which provided a previously unheard-of new perspective on thermodynamics and chemistry. -

In 1887, Pierre Duhem was appointed a theoretical physics professor at Lille University. This was around the time that he began his thermodynamics research, which is still regarded as some of his best work. He worked at the University of Lille from 1887 until 1893. He conducted lectures on elasticity, acoustics, and hydrodynamics, and that were published in 1891. -

"The Aim and Structure of Physical Theory" (1906) was first written under the title "La théorie physique: son objet et sa structure" in French, which was also printed for the first time in 1906. The fundamental purpose of this project was to study the nature and organization of physical theories, with a particular emphasis on the function of hypotheses and the interaction between theory and experiment. -
