nombreuses figures dans le texte édition de 1984 Book condition, Etat : Bon broché, sous couverture imprimée éditeur grise, illustrée d'un portrait de Descartes avec une figure géométrique In-8 1 vol. - 175 pages Contents, Chapitres : Claude David : Du doute à l'inconscient, Préface de Marc Leclerc et Jean-Charles Juhel, table, xxx, Texte, 146 pages - Livre premier : Des problèmes qu'on peut construire en n' employant que des cercles et des lignes droites - Livre second : De la nature des lignes courbes - Livre troisième : De la construction des problèmes solides ou plus que solides - La Géométrie est l'un des trois appendices publiés en 1637 par René Descartes avec le Discours de la méthode, où il présentait une science nouvelle permettant d'obtenir des idées claires sur n'importe quel sujet. La Géométrie et les deux autres traités, la Dioptrique (l'optique) et Les Météores (phénomènes naturels), donnent des exemples des succès obtenus en suivant la méthode. - La Geometrie, publiée en 1637, probablement en partie écrite en 1636 pendant l'impression de Les Météores, est une « uvre de circonstances, hâtivement rédigée ». Elle trouve ses racines dans l'esprit de Descartes (entre autres) lors de ses réflexions sur le problème de Pappus (1631). Avant Descartes, il était entendu que l'algèbre et la géométrie étaient des branches complètement séparées des mathématiques sans connexion entre elles. Son ouvrage est le premier à proposer l'idée d'unir l'algèbre et la géométrie dans une même discipline. Descartes decouvre ce que l'on nomme la géométrie analytique; lui n'y voit à cette époque qu'une « présentation algébrique de la géométrie des anciens ». Cela signifie qu'il réduit les problèmes de géométrie à des calculs de longueur et qu'il traduit les questions de géométrie en équations algébriques. Les travaux les plus récents sur La Géométrie, sa place dans l' uvre de Descartes et dans l'histoire des mathématiques, sont dus au mathématicien André Warusfel qui a réalisé la présentation et les notes de La Géométrie, dans le 3e tome des uvres complètes de Descartes (collection TEL, éd. Gallimard) publié en 2009. L'année suivante, il a soutenu à Paris IV une thèse sur l uvre mathématiques de Descartes dans La Géométrie (juin 2010) - On attribue à Descartes l'invention des repères cartésiens : en effet, il associe à un point deux nombres, le nombre x mesurant la distance par rapport à une droite et le nombre y mesurant la distance qui s'appliquent par ordre à cette droite, d'où le nom ordonnée. Ces droites évoquent un système d'axes de coordonnées qu'on appellera plus tard repère cartésien. Le rapport entre x et y permet à Descartes d'écrire l'équation de courbes classiques comme les coniques, les ovales et des courbes du troisième ou quatrième degré. Il classera les courbes en genres en fonction du degré de leur équation. (source : Wikipedia) couverture propre, à peine jaunie sur les bords, intérieur frais et propre, les 3 premières pages ont été consolidées proprement, elles se détachaient du brochage, le texte est sinon très frais et propre, cette édition avec une nouvelle traduction proche du français moderne reste très proche du texte original. Une longue et brillante préface présente l'importance de ce texte qu'il replace dans l'histoire des mathématiques en montrant son influence dans l'histoire des idées et la philosophie des sciences, références à Popper, Hilbert, Wittgenstein, Félix Klein, aux Bourbaki, à Gödel. 320.

It "Revolutionized The Entire Conception Of The Object Of Mathematical Science" (J. Hadamard).With This Volume Descartes Founded Modern Analytical Geometry. Reducing Geometry To Algebra And Analysis And, Conversely, Showing That Analysis May Be Translated Into Geometry, It Opened The Way For Modern Mathematics.
