It is said that he was ill and in bed. He looked up at the ceiling where he noticed a fly. He figured out that knowing the distances from a corner of the ceiling along the two adjacent sides of the ceiling will uniquely identify its location. So, if the corner of the ceiling was the origin and the two adjacent sides were the axes, you have the Cartesian plane.
What else can I help you with?
Who was the Cartesian coordinate plane named after of?
Rene Descartes.
If Rene Descartes created a similar system of scientific notation what was the original system?
Descartes and His Coordinate System.
What part of Rene Descartes' discourse on the method of reasoning well and seeking truth in the sciences was the Cartesian Coordinate System discussed?
Rene Descartes used the Cartesian coordinate system for algebraic equations. Through the system he was able to give a visual representation of the equations.
Did Rene descartes make m the variable for slope?
Rene Descartes invented the Cartesian coordinate system and the idea of the x-y axis. He used the coordinate system to express equations and formulas visually through slopes and lines. He created a slope for the equation, rather than the equation for a slope.
What human values are most important to Rene Descartes?
Rene Descartes valued rationality and human logic. Descartes is famous for his sentence, "I think, therefore I am." It was the mind that Descartes valued more than anything else.
How was the coordinate plane discovered?
A general coordinate system had to be devised prior to describing planes or other objects. As provided in the link, Rene Descartes is considered the founder of the Cartesian coordinate system in 1637, but Fermat also made contributions. See related links on the lives of Descartes and Fermat.
What plane has the two number lines that intersect?
Think about it, the x & y planes intersect and what one number has both, the x & y planes intersect. 0 on the coordinate plane is the, origin.
