Bernard Forest de Bélidor (circa 1697? - 1761) was a highly influential French military engineer and mathematician. He is widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of modern civil engineering, playing a pivotal role in transitioning construction from an empirical craft into a mathematically backed science. His 1729 treatise, La Science des Ingénieurs (The Science of Engineers), was the first comprehensive textbook to merge physical and mathematical theories with practical structural design
