‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "His conception of the science of machines as a subject, however, rather than his somewhat jejune solution to its generalized problem, was what made Carnot an important influence upon the science of mechanics. Through that and similar influence it became in fact and not just in precept the basis of the profession of mechanical engineering... The Principes fondamentaux de l'équilibre et du mouvement treats the science of machines in terms of geometric motions. For it is extremely interesting that it was in this that he thought to unify his geometric and mechanical interests... The entire subject Carnot imagined as preliminary to that which was closest to his heart and on which he promised a further book : the science of geometric motion. He redeemed the promise that same year by publishing the Principes fondamentaux de l'équilibre et du mouvement...
