Two landing sites were given consideration to achieve this goal: the Descartes site and the crater Alphonsus. The Descartes Highlands was selected for the Apollo 16 mission in order to enable astronauts John Young and Charles Duke to sample the prominent Descartes and Cayley formations concentrated in the area. Sampling these formations was a ...

René Descartes started over with a more fundamental view, developing ideas of matter and action independent of theology. Galileo Galilei wrote about experimental measurements of falling and rolling objects. Johannes Kepler's laws of planetary motion summarized Tycho Brahe's astronomical observations. [6]: 132

In number theory, a Descartes number is an odd number which would have been an odd perfect number if one of its composite factors were prime.They are named after René Descartes who observed that the number D = 3 2 ⋅7 2 ⋅11 2 ⋅13 2 ⋅22021 = (3⋅1001) 2 ⋅ (22⋅1001 − 1) = 198585576189 would be an odd perfect number if only 22021 were a prime number, since the sum-of-divisors ...
L'Entretien entre M. Descartes avec M. Pascal le jeune is a theatre play by Jean-Claude Brisville.. Created in October 1985 at Théâtre de l'Europe in a mise-en-scène by Jean-Pierre Miquel, with Henri Virlogeux (René Descartes) and Daniel Mesguich (Blaise Pascal), the play was revived in 2007 at Théâtre de l'Œuvre in a mise-en-scène by Daniel Mesguich, with Daniel Mesguich (Descartes ...
Both Descartes and Fermat used a single axis in their treatments and have a variable length measured in reference to this axis. [3] The concept of using a pair of axes was introduced later, after Descartes' La Géométrie was translated into Latin in 1649 by Frans van Schooten and his students. These commentators introduced several concepts ...
Each coordinate of the intersection points of two conic sections is a solution of a quartic equation. The same is true for the intersection of a line and a torus.It follows that quartic equations often arise in computational geometry and all related fields such as computer graphics, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing and optics.
