Gaspard Monge, also known as Comte de Péluse, was born on Monday, May 9, 1746 in Beaune, Burgundy, France. He was the son of Jacques Monge and Jeanne Rousseaux. During his childhood, his father was a small trader. Later, in 1777, Monge married Cathérine Huart. Gaspard died Tuesday July 28, 1818 in Paris, France. Monge specialized in the fields of mathematics, engineering and education. During his 72 years of life, Monge created descriptive geometry and also laid the foundation for the development of analytical geometry. Today, descriptive geometry and analytical geometry have become part of projective geometry. Gaspard Monge's university education comes from the Collège Oratorien de Beaune. The school was founded by St. Philip Neri, who created the schools due to too many members in his spiritual discussion meetings, in 1575 in Rome. Today, more than 70 oratories with around five hundred priests are spread around the world. These schools are and were intended for young nobles. Monge, continued his studies in Lyon at the Collège de la Trinité in 1762. He was then sixteen years old and became a school physics teacher after a year of study. After two years, Gaspard completed his studies in 1764. Monge's career direction was largely influenced by his visit to Beaune. During this return to his hometown, Gaspard Monge drew a large-scale plan of the city. This plan consisted of creating the necessary observation methods and surveying instruments. The reason this return visit had such an influence on Monge's career is that, while he was there, an engineering officer from the Royal School of Engineers at Mézières, founded in 1748, saw his plan and was very impressed...... middle of paper ......ue. However, in 1798, Monge was again sent to Italy on a mission. Unfortunately, this mission ended the institution of the Roman Republic in the short term. Monge accompanied his new friend Napoleon to Egypt from 1798 to 1801. While the two men were in Cairo, Gaspard Monge helped create a cultural organization, the Institute of Egypt, named after the Institut National de France. Due to the fall of Napoleon's power in 1814, Monge was deprived of the recognition of all his honors and excluded from the list of members of the Institute reconstituted in 1816. Gaspard Monge spent his life devoted to teaching new methods to young minds. He also spent the vast majority of his time researching not only his primary field of mathematics to which he contributed greatly, but he also contributed to the scientific fields of chemistry and physics..
