The Geometry Of Rene Descartes

The Geometry of Rene Descartes is a book written by the famous philosopher and mathematician Rene Descartes. Published in 1637, it is one of the most significant works in the history of mathematics. The book is a treatise on analytical geometry, which is the study of geometric shapes using algebraic equations. In it, Descartes introduced the concept of coordinate geometry, which is the use of mathematical coordinates to represent points and shapes in space. This idea revolutionized the field of mathematics and paved the way for the development of calculus and other advanced mathematical concepts. The book contains numerous examples and proofs, and it is written in a clear and concise style that is accessible to both mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike. The Geometry of Rene Descartes is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of mathematics or the development of modern science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
