Napoleon the famous Mathematican and geologist

Originally an artillery officer by profession the Corsican born French scientist Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1861) eventually began to follow his passion for Mathematics in the years following the French Revolution. He became an influential scientist in the early 1800es and since has been an influential author of various scientific books. Most notable are his geological studies about the Appalchian mountains and the Andes.

That may be more believable than it first appears.

Louis-Lucien was a linguist.

was a famous biologist and ornithologist.

Napoleon himself was responsible for organizing the science side of the invasion of Egypt (which resulted in finding the Rosetta stone, etc.)

Instead of turning it into Empire, Napoleon will still forced to coup the government to save France, mathematically arrange a government, and sit down and watch the greatest experiment...

Overall effects may be good for France.
Most likely, if Napoleon would be a scientist, the French government will never launch a failed expedition to Egypt in 1798. It mean better relations with Britain later, which mean the France will face less determined opposition in Europe. May be the invasion to Russia (in OTL made chiefly to enforce an embargo on British) will be not necessary at all, preserving some of the French territorial gains in long term. As about army leadership..somebody will appear on Napoleons's place. The list of French generals of era was over 2000 names long thanks to a lot of action and sheer size of their armies. Man with ability will eventually float to the top of command chain as Napoleon did.

I don't know about better relations with Britain, or the rest of Europe for that matter... Revolutionary France stopped being popular with France's traditional enemies very quickly once they started mounting royal heads on pikes and spouting rhetoric about liberating Europe's oppressed peoples from the shackles of monarchist tyranny...

As far as a replacement for Napoleon, don't you think you ought to give the man a bit more credit? Certainly there were capable generals in the French army (those that avoided being executed during the Reign of Terror anyway) but come on... the man's Napoleon for God's sake.
