"Monge revived the study of certain branches of geometry and his work was the starting point for the remarkable flowering of that subject during the nineteenth century. MONGE's important contribution is known from his Géométrie descriptive.

Within a few years this new discipline was being taught in French scientific and technical schools and had spread to several other continental countries.".
