Lazare Carnot is best known as a geometer. In 1803 he published Géométrie de position, in which sensed magnitudes were first systematically used in geometry. He was born in Nolay, Burgundy, on 13 May 1753 and died in Magdeburg, Prussian Saxony (now Germany), on 2 August 1823. Carnot's theorem is named after him, and he has a place in the geometry of the French Revolution era, when he also served the state in military and political roles.
