The Geometry of Rene Descartes - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

The Geometry of Rene Descartes is a mathematical treatise written by the famous philosopher and mathematician, Rene Descartes. The book was first published in Latin in 1637, and it is considered one of the most important works in the history of mathematics. The Geometry of Rene Descartes is a groundbreaking work that introduced the concept of analytic geometry, which is the study of geometry using algebraic methods. In this book, Descartes explains how to use algebraic equations to represent geometric shapes, and how to use these equations to solve geometric problems. He also introduces the concept of the Cartesian coordinate system, which is a system of coordinates used to locate points in space. The Geometry of Rene Descartes is divided into three parts. The first part is an introduction to the principles of analytic geometry, including the Cartesian coordinate system. The second part is a detailed explanation of how to use algebraic equations to represent geometric shapes, such as lines, circles, and conic sections. The third part is a collection of problems and solutions that demonstrate the practical applications of analytic geometry. Overall, The Geometry of Rene Descartes is a seminal work in the history of mathematics, and it continues to be studied and admired by mathematicians and philosophers today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of mathematics, or in the development of modern mathematical concepts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
