John Dalton (1766-1844) was an English scientist. He taught mathematics and physical sciences at New College, Manchester. Dalton revived the atomic theory of matter, which he applied to a table of atomic weights and used in developing his law of partial pressures (Dalton's law). He was color-blind and studied that affliction, also known as Daltonism.
