Biographical Facts: Contributions: Descartes may be best known as a philosopher, but his contribution to mathematics dramatically shaped mathematical thought. His short book, Geometry , was published as an appendix in 1637. Descartes showed the power of combining algebra and geometry. This revolutionized the applicability of algebra and led to the development of analytic geometry, also named Cartesian geometry in Descartes' honor. Descartes originated much of the exponential notation used today. He standardized the use of the first letters of the alphabet to denote known quantities and the use of the last letters of the alphabet to denote unknown quantities. Quotations by Descartes: "Perfect numbers like perfect men are very rare." "I hope that posterity will judge me kindly not only as to the things which I have explained, but also to those which I have intentionally omitted so as to leave to others the pleasure of discovery." "Mathematics is a more powerful instrument of knowledge than any other that has been bequeathed to us by human agency." "I think, therefore I am."

Branch of Science Mathematicians Nationality German Klein, Felix (1849-1925) German mathematician who began his career as assistant at Bonn. Klein studied analytic geometry describing geometry as the study of properties of figures which remain invariant under a group of transformations He systemized non-Euclidean geometry and wrote a book on the icosahedron in 1884. He also worked on the development of group theory and collaborated with Lie in Erlanger Programm. He also is known in topology for the one-sided Klein bottle In addition to all his other work, he found time to write a classic history of mathematics.

Problems about Analytic Geometry READ THIS FIRST About a circle About a Parabola About an ellipse ... About the locus of a point READ THIS FIRST If a problem is solved. It is not 'the' answer. No attempt is made to search for the most elegant answer. I highly recommend that you at least try to solve the problem before you read the solution. About a circle Level 2 problems A variable circle c has equation x + y - 2 (t - 3 t + 1) x - 2 (t + 2 t) y + t = The number t is a parameter. Calculate the point P with a constant power with respect to c. How much is that power. Say P has coordinates (r,s), then the power of P with respect to c is r + s - 2 (t - 3 t + 1) r - 2 (t + 2 t) s + t -(2 s + 2 r) t + (6 r - 4 s + 1) t + r + s - 2 r This power is independent of the parameter t if and only if 2 s + 2 r = and 6 r - 4 s + 1= r = 1/10 and s = -1/10 The point P(0.1; -0.1) has a constant power with respect to the variable circle. This power is 0.22 . About a Parabola Level 2 problems The parabola P has equation y = 2 p x.

34. Descartes And The Birth Of Analytic Geometry Did you know . . .? The man who invented analytic geometry, René Descartes (15961650), never got out of bed before 11 in the morning! http://www.ualr.edu/~lasmoller/descartes.html

Did you know . . .? Analytic geometry brings together the analytical tools of algebra and the visual immediacy of geometry by providing a way to visualize algebraic functions . Descartes, a French philosopher and mathematician, did this through the introduction of the coordinate system that still bears his name, the Cartesian coordinate system. Descartes published his ideas in 1637 in a treatise called Geometry It is said (although the story is probably a myth) that Descartes came up with the idea for his coordinate system while lying in bed and watching a fly crawl on the ceiling of his room. (Source: http://www.ga.k12.pa.us/academics/US/Math/Millar/Descartes/Burka.htm Descartes' Geometry was an appendix to a larger work called Discourse on the Method of Properly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking the Truth in the Sciences . In this work, Descartes set out to place human knowledge on a new, firm footing, an important task in an age beset with doubts and controversy and in which skepticism reigned. Descartes himself had seen service in warfare spurred by religious disagreements, and he was no stranger to scientific controversy, either. In 1633, hearing that Galileo had been condemned for teaching that the earth moved around the sun, Descartes abruptly decided not to publish a work defending the idea of a sun-centered univierse. Descartes found a model for proper reasoning in mathematics, especially in geometry, and his appendix on

AMS Special Session: Computational Algebraic and Analytic Geometry for Low-dimensional Varieties Baltimore, January 2003 Organized by (Florida State University) and Emil Volcheck (National Security Agency). This special session will be held Thursday and Friday, 16-17 January 2003, at the Baltimore Joint Mathematics Meetings . This is the third special session on this topic to be held at the AMS/MAA Joint Mathematics Meetings. The first special session was held in 1999 at the San Antonio Joint Meetings, and the second special session was held in 2001 at the New Orleans Joint Meetings. Scope This session is devoted to algorithms and computational techniques for algebraic curves, Riemann surfaces, algebraic surfaces, and low-dimensional varieties. We are interested in reports on algorithms to solve problems or on a significant use of computational algebraic or analytic techniques to obtain results. Algorithmic, algebraic, arithmetic, and analytic aspects of curves and surfaces are appropriate topics. Read the list of speakers and their abstracts for the special sessions in and on computational algebraic geometry for curves and surfaces to see what previous speakers in this series of special sessions have presented.
