Gaston Darboux (1842-1917) was a French mathematician born in Nîmes and the later part of his career is well known for his mathematical and educational contributions in the field of Geometry. Using a methodology close to the modern biographical approaches, we reconstruct the earlier part of his life in order to understand the mathematician and educator he later became in 1878. We start with a presentation of the unconventional academic path he followed as a student, ending in the Ecole Normale. To define his mathematical identity, we study the largely unknown theory of focals, as well as the theory of orthogonal and cyclide surfaces, where Darboux plays a major role. We subsequently focus on the immediate reception of these works as well as...
