With no lack in\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003erigour, Carnot used geometric and trigonometric rather than algebraic arguments, and\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003eusually went on to explain in words what the formulae contained. His main physical–\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003emathematical concepts were the \u003ci\u003eGeometric motion and Moment of activity–concept of\u003c\/i\u003e\n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003e\n                    \u003ci\u003eWork \u003c\/i\u003e. In particular, he found the invariants of the transmission of motion (by stating\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003ethe principle of the moment of the quantity of motion) and theorized the condition of\u003c\/p\u003ethe maximum efficiency of mechanical machines (i.e., principle of continuity in the\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003etransmission of power).\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003eWhile the core theme remains the theories and historical studies of the text, the book\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003econtains an extensive Introduction and an accurate critical English Translation –\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003eincluding the parallel text edition and substantive critical\/explicative notes – of \u003ci\u003eEssai\u003c\/i\u003e\n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003cp\u003e\n                    \u003ci\u003esur les machines en général \u003c\/i\u003e(1786).
