# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Gaspard Monge was born in May 1746 in France and trained as a mathematician at a time when geometry was abstract theory, not practical tool. He developed descriptive geometry — the method for projecting solid forms onto two-dimensional planes — which became the foundation of technical drawing and later branched into differential geometry. During the French Revolution he served as Minister of the Marine and threw himself into educational reform, co-founding the École Polytechnique with Lamblardie and Lazare Carnot, shaping France's engineering tradition for generations. He also worked alongside Berthollet, Chaptal, and Laplace to establish Arts et Métiers ParisTech. He died in July 1818, his geometric syntax embedded in every engineering sketch since.
