French general, military architect and mathematician

Carnot led to proof of membership of gravity on the geometry and thus enabled the connection of geometry and mechanics. His writings on the geometry of the situation are essential. He set a record at the loss of kinetic energy during the collision inelastic bodies. As a politician, he created the conditions for the establishment of the "Ecole Polytechnique", as a general, he was called the "organizer of victory" or the "Great Carnot".
