Sectiones triginta miscellaneasLike his father before him, Frans van Schooten (1615-1660) taught mathematics at Leiden University, among others to Christiaan Huygens. He is most famous for popularizing the geometric principles of René Descartes, but also wrote treatises of his own. The Elzeviers' Latin edition of this book of mathematical exercises was used at universities throughout Europe. Van Schooten's efforts made Leiden the centre of a strong mathematical community in the seventeenth century.GeometryEarly works to 1800MathematicsEarly works to 1800GeometryEarly works to 1800.Mathematics516Schooten Frans van1615-1660886652NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910583476403321Exercitationum Mathematicarum2920083UNINA
