Extractions: Carnot, Lazare Nicolas Marguerite E u r E O Pronunciation Key Carnot, Lazare Nicolas Marguerite , French revolutionary, known as the organizer of victory for his role in the French Revolutionary Wars . A military engineer by training, Carnot became the military genius of the Revolution and was chiefly responsible for the success of the French in the wars. A member of the Legislative Assembly, the Convention, and the Committee of Public Safety, he made himself almost indispensable through his military knowledge. After the fall of Maximilien Robespierre, who was primarily responsible for the Reign of Terror, Carnot managed to avoid punishment for his own part in the Terror and became a member of the Directory . He was ousted from the Directory in the coup of 18 Fructidor (Sept., 1797) and fled abroad. He returned in 1799 and served as minister of war (1800) and in the tribunate under Napoleon Bonaparte ( Napoleon I ). In the next few years he wrote several works on mathematics and military engineering; in 1810 appeared his masterpiece

Extractions: Lazare Carnot to submit for a prize in a competition. He revised it in 1781 and it was eventually published in 1783. It deals with mechanics and areas of engineering. The following year he declined an invitation to enter the Prussian service and, in the same year he was promoted to captain. From 1787 he became a member of the Dijon Academy while he was elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1791 and to the National Convention in 1792. He directed the Army of the North after April 1793 becoming in that year a leading member of the Committee of General Defence and a member of the Committee of Public Safety. In 1794, under direction from Carnot and Monge Sadi Carnot was born. The year 1797 was an eventful one for Carnot. In this year he published his famous text The book is introduced with the words:- As however everything indicates that there will be a new turn in the culture of mathematics, the author deems it apposite to publish this monograph.

Extractions: Sadi Carnot was the eldest son of Lazare Carnot and he was born in the Palais du Petit-Luxembourg. His younger brother was Hippolyte Carnot. At the time of Sadi's birth, his father was a member of the Directory, the French Revolutionary government which lasted four years from November 1795 to November 1799. Sadi was given named after a medieval Persian poet and philosopher called Sa'di of Shiraz. Sadi Carnot was born at a time of unrest and political turmoil in France and, due the position of his father, whose fortunes changed dramatically many times, he was brought up in a totally unstable environment of interacting politics and science. His father was appointed to the high office of Napoleon's minister of war in 1799. Lazare Carnot resigned in 1807 and devoted himself to the education of his two sons. Sadi had a fine teacher in his father, who taught him mathematics and science as well as languages and music. Poisson and Arago were among his teachers.

The species include O. stelleri, the northern sea-lion, the largest of the genus, from the North Pacific; about 10 ft. in length; O. jubata, the southern sea-lion, from the Falkland Islands and Patagonia; O. californiana, from California; O. ursina, the sea-bear or fur-seal of the North Pacific, the skins of which are imported in immense numbers from the Pribiloff Islands; O. antarctica or pustila, from the Cape of Good Hope;! and O-forsteri, from Australia and various islands in the southern hemisphere. (See SEAL-FISHERIES.) Little is known as to the past history of the sea-lions and sea-bears, but a skull has been obtained from the Miocene strata of Oregon, which Mr F. W. True states to be considerably larger than any existing sea-lion skull; its basal length when entire being probably about 20 in. The name Pontoleon magnws has been proposed for this fossil sea-lion, as the character of the skull and teeth do not agree precisely with those of any living member of the group. If, however, all the modern eared seals are included in the genus Otaria, there is apparently no reason to exclude the fossil species. EXTINCT CARNIVORA By means of the Amphicyonidae, as represented by the Middle Tertiary genera Proamphicyon, PseudamphieyGM, and Amphicyon, in which there were three upper molars, we have a transition from the Cynodictis-type to the bear-group; one of the later intermediate forms being the Lower Pliocene Old World Hyaenarctus, in which the two upper molars are squared and foreshadow those of Ursus itself. In some unknown manner Hyaenarctus appears to be related to Aeluropus. An allied type is found in Arctotherium of the South American Pleistocene^

Extractions: French physicist who developed the theory of heat engines in (1824). He proposed that work was generated by the passage of caloric from a warmer to a cooler body, with caloric being conserved in the process. Clausius showed, however, that heat was, in fact, not conserved. Carnot qualitatively proposed the reversible Carnot cycle and discovered that the efficiency of a heat engine depended only on its input and output temperatures Carnot (Lazare)

http://www.infoplease.com/cgi-bin/id/A0810520

Extractions: [n E k O A E O Pronunciation Key , French physicist, a founder of modern thermodynamics; son of Lazare N. M. Carnot. His famous work on the motive power of heat ( 1824) is concerned with the relation between heat and mechanical energy. Carnot devised an ideal engine in which a gas is allowed to expand to do work, absorbing heat in the process, and is expanded again without transfer of heat but with a temperature drop. The gas is then compressed, heat being given off, and finally it is returned to its original condition by another compression, accompanied by a rise in temperature. This series of operations, known as Carnot's cycle, shows that even under ideal conditions a heat engine cannot convert into mechanical energy all the heat energy supplied to it; some of the heat energy must be rejected. This is an illustration of the second law of thermodynamics. Carnot's work anticipated that of Joule, Kelvin, and others. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia

Extractions: Entries Publication Data Maps Contributors ... World Civilizations Reader's Companion to Military History French Military Administrator Lazare Carnot sat on the ruling Committee of Public Safety during the height of the French Revolution in 1793-1794; he provided his valuable military knowledge and experience to the committee and earned the title of "organizer of victory." Although of middle-class origins, Carnot rose to the rank of captain of engineers in the old royal army but threw in his lot with the Revolution and eventually won election to the governing assemblies, where his military background and ability catapulted him to the fore. In August 1793 he joined the twelve-member Committee of Public Safety; there he coordinated the raising, equipping, arming, and feeding of an army of one million men, by far the largest army ever raised in Europe. He also directed French strategy and even played a role in tactical development; he was a partisan of the bayonet attack. He continued in office after the execution of the committee's most famous member, Maximilien Robespierre, and remained active in revolutionary government until forced to flee France after a coup in 1797. He came back under Napoleon , whom he served as minister of the interior and minister of war at different times. The return of Louis XVIII in 1815 forced Carnot into exile. He traveled to Poland and settled in Prussia, where he occupied himself with writing and mathematics until his death.

Extractions: Bennett Gilbert Carnot, Lazare-Nicholas-Marguerite (1753-1823). De la Corrélation des Figures de Géométrie.... Paris, Crapelet for Duprat, IX (1801). First edition of a fundamental work on the meaning of quantity in mathematics. It was Carnot's first great work and is among his most important contribution. It was motivated by his interest in understanding the infinitesimal calculus. He sought to make sense of the notion of "unreasonable quantities" and learning how to manage infinitesimal numbers. He also wanted to reconcile them with the imaginary and negative numbers of algebra. His effort to do this was presented in this work and in its successor, Géometrie de position (1803), and these "constituted his most significant clarification of the procedures of mathematics" (D. S. B.). Octavo: 4 A-M8; (viii), 188pp. Four folding engravings, sign Duruisseau, of geometrical figures. Entirely untrimmed in original purple wrappers (light wear to extremities). Fine.
