1767-Jan.-14: A new School of Mathematics was opened in the Faubourg Saint-Jacques in Paris to advance the study of military engineering and artillery. Students were divided into two specialized classes, focusing on either the mechanical principles of artillery or the complex systems of fortification. To maintain student engagement, the curriculum included the examination of artillery machines and their effects alongside abstract mathematical theory. This institution reflected France’s broader commitment to perfecting the “unfortunate but necessary” art of war through scientific education.
