Abstract

[The geometer Michel Chasles, one of the nineteenth–century personages who was both a master and a masterly historian of his favorite subject, discussed the contributions of the “illustrious Carnot” after the descriptive geometry of Monge and before the projective geometry of Poncelet in the sequence to which he attributed revival of the methods of Desargues and Pascal and a consequent renaissance of geometry following its eclipse by eighteenth–century analysis (Chasles 1875, p 210). It was a central feature of the careers of those Chasles singled out that each of them had his place in the tradition of engineering mechanics and occupied himself in the science of machines concurrently with the new geometry.]
