 | | Gaspard Monge, comte de Péluse (1746-1818) was a mathematician in the golden age of French mathematics, and a founder of the Ecole Polytechnique, the first modern engineering college. |
 | | Monge revived this science, extending it to the solution of many types of problems, and showing how it gives a complete solution of the problem. |
 | | We have shown the essential parts of Monge's Procedure, which are the selection of folding lines, and the measurement of equal distances in alternate views, by which any questions of size, shape, or orientation can be solved. |
