Théodore Moutard
Théodore Florentin Moutard (27 July 1827 – 13 March 1901) was a French mining engineer who worked at the École des Mines and contributed to mathematical geometry. The Moutard transformation in inverse geometry is named after him. Moutard was born in Soultz, Haut-Rhin, to Florentin and Elisabeth Bernon. He was educated at the École Polytechnique and graduated in 1846 and entered the École des Mines and after graduating in 1849 he joined the Mining corps but was discharged in 1852 as he refused to take the oath required following the overthrow of Napoleon III. He joined back in 1870 and became a professor of mechanics at the École des Mines in 1875. He was also an examiner for the École Polytechnique from 1883. Moutard contributed to the ''La grande encyclopédie'' and his mathematical work was on algebraic surfaces and differential geometry. He collaborated with Victor Poncelet on elliptic functions. He was made Commander of the Legion of Honor in 1899. Moutard married t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Napoleon III
Napoleon III (Charles Louis Napoléon Bonaparte; 20 April 18089 January 1873) was the first President of France (as Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte) from 1848 to 1852 and the last monarch of France as Emperor of the French from 1852 to 1870. A nephew of Napoleon I, he was the last monarch to rule over France.

Jean-Victor Poncelet
Jean-Victor Poncelet (; 1 July 1788 – 22 December 1867) was a French engineer and mathematician who served most notably as the Commanding General of the École Polytechnique. He is considered a reviver of projective geometry, and his work ''Traité des propriétés projectives des figures'' is considered the first definitive text on the subject since Gérard Desargues' work on it in the 17th century. He later wrote an introduction to it: ''Applications d'analyse et de géométrie''. As a mathematician, his most notable work was in projective geometry, although an early collaboration with Charles Julien Brianchon provided a significant contribution to Feuerbach's theorem. He also made discoveries about projective harmonic conjugates; relating these to the poles and polar lines associated with conic sections. He developed the concept of parallel lines meeting at a point at infinity and defined the circular points at infinity that are on every circle of the plane. These discoverie ...
