First edition.
Work which is inspired by Wallis' method of measuring surfaces by the arithmetic of infinities which has the advantage according to Deidier of using simple algebra. Deidier found the algebra of integral calculus too abstract. Deidier's works ensured him a distinguished place among the mathematicians of his time.

He seems to have made globes, sundials, mathematical instruments, and mechanical machines with equal accuracy.
In the "Traité de la construction.." he gives a fairly complete list of instruments normally constructed during the first quarter of the eighteenth century.

First edition.
Paul Lévy (1886-1971) French mathematician is among the founders of modern probability theory. We also owe him important considerations on the stable stochastic laws which bear his name as well as on martingales. In 1920, he was appointed professor of analysis at the École Polytechnique and on this occasion discovered the discipline that would leave his mark the most: the calculation of probabilities. It can be said that most of the essential concepts of probability theory derive from him.

"Monge is regarded as the creator of descriptive geometry, for 'it ws he who elegantly and methodically converted the group of graphical procedures used by practionners into a general uniform technique based on simple an rigorous reasoning and methods ...Monge's systematic use of cylindrical projection and, more discreetly, that of central projection, opened the way to the parallel creation of projective and modern geometry' (DSB). It was primarily through Monge's teachings, both at the ephemeral École de l'an III and the École Polytechnique, that descriptive geometry, analytical geometry and differential geometry were established as special fields".(Norman).
