Gaspard Monge

Gaspard Monge (1746 – 1818) was a French mathematician and scientist.

Biography

During the French Revolution, Monge entered into a military science competition, whose challenge was to find the means of efficiently increasing the stability of explosive powders. After some time, he was able to deduce a stable formula within one of his books. However, a competitor, Colonel Frolois, knew of Monge's quick expertise. Thus, he intended to sabotage his findings with a explosion at Monge's lab using the solar cannon in the Palais-Royal. However, the attempt went awry after it killed a local bystander named Alexandre Loissac instead. After an investigation by Parisian Assassin Arno Dorian, the colonel was rightfully accused and taken to jail.
