francouzský geometr Zaèal jako pøednášející na vojenské akademii v Méziées (1768 - 1789), z jeho pøednášek o stavbì pevností rozvinul jako zvláštní odvìtví geometrie deskriptivní geometrii . Pøi studiu prostorových køivek a ploch zaèal využívat infinitezimální poèet. Za doby, kdy byl øeditelem Ecole polytechnique tam byla na velmi dobré úrovni geometrie. Jeho práce obsahují již zárodek budoucí projektivní geometrie a ovlivnily vývoj analytické a diferenciální geometrie. Nejoriginálnìjší Mongeùv žák Viktor Poucelet v roce 1813, kdy byl v Rusku jako zajatec po porážce Napoleonovy armády, navázal v duchu Mongeova myšlení na myšlenky Desarquovy a založil projektivní geometrii.

Gaspard Monge. Gaspard Monge 10 de Maio de 28 de Julho de ) nasceu em Beaune Fran§a , filho de Jacques Monge, mascate amolador de facas. Era o gªnio da fam­lia, e no col©gio (dirigido por uma ordem religiosa) ganhava todos os prªmios. ‰ conhecido pela cria§£o da geometria descritiva . Sem ela - originalmente usada na engenharia militar – a enorme expans£o da maquinaria do s©culo XIX teria, provavelmente, sido imposs­vel. Aos quatorze anos construiu um carro de bombeiros. € pergunta de como conseguira tal feito sem qualquer orienta§£o, respondeu: “eu uso dois trunfos infal­veis: uma tenacidade invenc­vel e m£os que traduzem meu pensamento com fidelidade geom©trica.” Foi um ge´metra e engenheiro nato com o dom insuper¡vel de visualizar rela§µes espaciais complicadas. Aos dezesseis anos fez um excelente mapa completo de Beaune, construindo seus pr³prios instrumentos de agrimensura . Este mapa proporcionou-lhe a primeira grande chance: os professores recomendaram-no para a cadeira de professor de F­sica do col©gio de Lyon , dirigido pela mesma ordem religiosa.

Contribuy³ a fundar la Escuela Polit©cnica en 1794, en la que dio clases de geometr­a descriptiva durante m¡s de diez a±os. Es considerado el inventor de la geometr­a descriptiva . La geometr­a descriptiva es la que nos permite representar sobre una superficie bidimensional, las superficies tridimensionales de los objetos. Hoy en d­a existen diferentes sistemas de representaci³n, que sirven a este fin, como la perspectiva c³nica, el sistema de planos acotados, etc. pero quiz¡s el m¡s importante es el Sistema di©drico , que fue desarrollado por Monge en su primera publicaci³n en el a±o 1799.

Gaspard Monge became the later in his life and he is sometimes known by this name. His father was Jacques Monge, a merchant who came originally from Haute-Savoie in southeastern France. Gaspard's mother, whose maiden name was Jeanne Rousseaux, was a native of Burgundy and it was in the town of Beaune in Burgundy that Gaspard was brought up. Around the time that Gaspard was born Beaune, after a period of decline, was becoming prosperous again due to the success of the wine trade. Bossut who was the professor of mathematics there. At first Monge's post did not require him to use his mathematical talents, but Monge worked in his own time developing his own ideas of geometry. Bossut was elected to the Bossut explaining that he was writing a work on the evolutes of curves of double curvature. He asked

    http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/M/Monge/1.html
    Monge, Gaspard French mathematician and chemist, the founder of descriptive geometry. His application of analysis to infinitesimal geometry also paved the way for later developments.
    In 1796, Monge's friendship with Napoleon began. He was sent to the newly conquered Italy as a member of various commissions. In 1798 he assisted in the preparation for the Egyptian campaign; he then accompanied Napoleon and was appointed president of the Institut d'Egypte established in Cairo. Monge also went with Napoleon on expeditions to the Suez region and Syria in 1799. Subsequently Napoleon appointed him a senator. When Napoleon was overthrown in 1815, Monge was discredited.
    Independently of French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, Monge synthesized water 1783, but he also worked with Lavoisier in 1785 on the synthesis and analysis of water. Monge quickly embraced Lavoisier's new chemistry and played an energetic part in getting it accepted.
    Monge asserted the autonomy of analytical geometry as a separate branch of mathematics. In particular, he devoted himself to the families of surfaces as defined by their mode of generation, and the properties of surfaces and space curves. He also established the distinction between ruled surfaces and developable surfaces.

    Biography
    In 1780 he was appointed to a chair in mathematics in Paris, and this with some provincial appointments which he held gave him a comfortable income. The earliest paper of any special importance which he communicated to the French Academy was one in 1781, in which he discussed the lines of curvature drawn on a surface. These had been first considered by Euler in 1760, and defined as those normal sections whose curvature was a maximum or a minimum. Monge treated them as the locus of those points on the surface at which successive normals intersect, and thus obtained the general differential equation. He applied his results to the central quadrics in 1795. In 1786 he published his well-known work on statics.
    Monge eagerly embraced the doctrines of the revolution. In 1792 he became minister of the marine, and assisted the committee of public safety in utilizing science for the defence of the republic. When the Terrorists obtained power he was denounced, and escaped the guillotine only by a hasty flight. On his return in 1794 he was made a professor at the short-lived Normal school, where he gave lectures on descriptive geometry; the notes of these were published under the regulation above alluded to. In 1796 he went to Italy on the roving commission which was sent with orders to compel the various Italian towns to offer pictures, sculpture, or other works of art that they might possess, as a present or in lieu of contributions to the French republic for removal to Paris. In 1798 he accepted a mission to Rome, and after executing it joined Napoleon in Egypt. Thence after the naval and military victories of England he escaped to France.
