The Geometry Of Rene Descartes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432566678)

The Geometry of Rene Descartes is a book written by the famous philosopher and mathematician, Rene Descartes. It is a treatise on geometry and algebra, which provides a comprehensive explanation of the principles and concepts of these two fields. The book is divided into three parts, each dealing with a different aspect of geometry. The first part discusses the basic principles of geometry, including points, lines, angles, and circles. The second part deals with the application of algebra to geometry, including the use of algebraic equations to solve geometric problems. The third part focuses on the application of geometry to physics, including the use of geometry to describe motion and the laws of motion. Throughout the book, Descartes uses his famous Cartesian coordinate system to illustrate geometric concepts and equations. The Geometry of Rene Descartes is a seminal work in the history of mathematics and is still widely studied and referenced today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
