history of geometry in India with special emphasis to corrdinate geometry
Answers
Answer:
The method of describing the location of points in this way was proposed by the French mathematician René Descartes (1596 - 1650). (Pronounced "day CART"). He proposed further that curves and lines could be described by equations using this technique, thus being the first to link algebra and geometry.
Answer:
History of Coordinate Geometry: Geometry was well developed to describe the dimension of an object, but it failed to describe the position of the object. There was a need for a system to describe position of the object. 17th century French Mathematician Rene Descartes liked to lie on bed & think. Once fine day when resting in bed, he solved the problem of describing the position of a point n a place. He designed Cartesian System. It made geometry quantitative & permitted the use of algebra methods in geometry. It is much better approach to geometry that the earlier Axiomatical/ Logical approach
