‎---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Briot devoted himself to teaching, first as a professor at the Orleans Lycée and afterward at the University of Lyons, where he reencountered his friend Claude Bouquet. In 1851 he moved to Paris where he taught the course in mathematiques speciales (preparation for the Ecole Normale Supérieure and the Ecole Polytechnique) at the Lycée Saint-Louis, as well as acting as substitute at both the Ecole Polytechnique and the Faculté des Sciences for the courses in mechanical engineering and surveying, calculus and mechanics and astronomy. From 1864 on, he was a professor at the Sorbonne and at the Ecole Normale Supérieure... A large part of Briot's activity was devoted to the writing of textbooks for students, so that he and Bouquet could provide them with a library of basic books on arithmetic, algebra, calculus, geometry, analytical geometry and mechanics. These books were published in numerous editions and for many years cntributed to establishing the level of mathematics teaching in France. Briot also published, with Bouquet, an important work on elliptic functions (1875). The Academie des Sciences awarded Briot the Poncelet Prize in 1882 for his work in mathematics".
