analysis in the course of Descriptive Geometry. Although he never gave those classes, he inspired and supervised to some extent the work of his pupils, who published the milestone works that can be considered the beginning of TMM:
Lanz J.M. and Betancourt A. , 1808, "Essai sur la composition des machines", Paris.
Summarizing, the future success of MMS as a Science will require to open the doors to the scientific community at large, but individuals of the IFToMM community should be the cornerstones of a great building, Thus, MMS and
particularly the IFToMM community will enhance successfully Technology like in the past and will serve the Society by achieving a better quality of the environment and human life.
