‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Poncelet's work is in two radically different areas corresponding to different stages in his career : analytical geometry and applied mechanics. At the Polytechnique he studied under Monge, Lacroix, Poinsot, Ampère, and Hachette, and was admitted to the corps of military engineers in 1810. In 1812 he graduated from the Ecole d'Application de l'Artillerie et du Génie at Metz. At Arago's insistence, Poncelet became professor of mechanics applied to machines at the same school, a change which fired his interest in applied mechanics. In 1834 new duties as scientific rapporteur for the Committee of Fortifications, as editor of the Memorial de l'officier du génie and election to the mechanics section of the Académie des Sciences led him to leave his native Metz for Paris. There he taught from 1848 to 1850 as a member of the faculty of the Ecole Polytechnique. The Expérience, a continuation of those undertaken by Bossut and Du Buat at Mézières, were conducted from November of 1827 through 1828". (Bibliotheca Mechanica p. 264)**4273/ARM3‎
