Frans van Schooten From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Franciscus Schooten May 29 ) was a Dutch mathematician who is most known for popularizing the analytic geometry of Ren© Descartes Schooten read Descartes's G©om©trie (an appendix to his Discours de la m©thode ) while it was still unpublished. Finding it hard to understand, he went to France to study the works of other important mathematicians of his time, such as Fran§ois Vi¨te and Pierre de Fermat Schooten's father was a professor of mathematics at Leiden , having Christiaan Huygens Johann van Waveren Hudde , and Ren© de Sluze as students. When Frans Schooten returned to his home in Leiden in , he inherited his father's position and one of his most important pupils, Huygens. Schooten's Latin translation of and commentary on Descarte's G©om©trie was valuable in that it made the work understandable to the broader mathematical community, and thus was responsible for the spread of analytic geometry to the world. He was one of the first to suggest, in exercises published in , that these ideas be extended to three-dimensional space. Schooten's efforts also made Leiden the centre of the mathematical community for a short period in the middle of the

He enrolled at the University of Leiden in 1631 and he studied mathematics there. In 1637 Descartes visited Leiden and met van Schooten. This proved important for van Schooten since Descartes provided contacts for van Schooten to become acquainted with Mersenne 's circle in Paris. Some time after this he went abroad, travelling first to Paris and then to London where he stayed from 1641 to 1643. He discussed mathematics in these two centres and he continued to correspond with the mathematicians he met in these towns after his return to Leiden, but unfortunately this correspondence is now lost. While in Paris he obtained manuscripts 's work and he later published them in Leiden.

Schooten Biographical Information: Frans van Schooten (1615-1660) was the son of Frans van Schooten, a professor at the engineering school in Leiden who was also involved with military engineering projects. Little is known about Schooten (the younger) prior to his enrollment in the university in Leiden in 1631. Though he received an intense education in mathematics, there is no mention of him completing his degree. While in Leiden in 1637 Schooten met Rene Descartes and developed a close and strong relationship with him, evening reading the proofs of Descartes’ Geometry. Soon afterwards with an introduction from Descartes, Schooten left the confines of Leiden, and traveled abroad to meet members of the mathematical communities in London and Paris (Mersenne’s circle). His travels lasted until 1643, after which time he returned to Leiden and published the works of Viète and Descartes. He became an assistant to his father at the university, and two years later in 1645, upon the death of his father, received his father’s position at the university. Schooten became one of the main people to promote the spread of Cartesian geometry, and trained many students including Jan DeWitt, Christian Huygens, Johann Hudde, and Hendrick van Heuraet. Schooten’s own work, the Geometria a Renato Des Cartes , appeared in two volumes 1659-1661. But many considered Schooten’s contributions to mathematics modest at best, especially his 1657 work

No clear indication of financial status. 3. Nationality Birth: Dutch Career: Dutch Death: Dutch 4. Education Schooling: Leiden Enrolled in Leiden in 1631. No source says anything about a degree, and given the tendency always to mention one, I assume then that Schooten did not persevere to one. He travelled to Paris and London about 1637, and there met the leading mathematicians. He was back in Leiden in 1643. 5. Religion Affiliation: Calvinist 6. Scientific Disciplines Primary: Mathematics He was trained in mathematics at Leiden, and he met Descartes there in 1637 and read the proofs of his Geometry. In Paris he collect manuscripts of the works of Viète, and in Leiden he published Viète's works. He published the Latin edition of Descartes' Geometry. The much expanded second edition was extremely influential.

A Latin translation of La Geometrie by Frans van Schooten (1615-60), first published in 1649 and reprinted several times, not only made the book available in the language all scholars could read but contained a commentary which expanded Descartes's compact presentation. In the edition of 1659-61, van Schooten actually gave the algebraic form of a transformation of coordinates from one base line (x-axis) to another. He was so impressed with the power of Descartes's method that he claimed the Greek geometers had used it to derive their results. Having the algebraic work, the Greeks, according to van Schooten, saw how to obtain the results syntheticallyhe showed how this could perspicuous than the algebraic, to amaze the world.

He published several math-history articles, mainly in the Jan P. Hogendijk: Bibliography of books and articles in Dutch on history of mathematics until 1900 http://www.math.ruu.nl/people/hogend/gwbib.html The very first article is on the Steiner's construction of Malfatti Circles Problem. This problem is: Given a triangle, to construct three circles mutually tangent to each other, each touching two sides of the triangle. Construction: Let I be the incenter of triangle ABC. (1) Construct the incircles of the subtriangles IBC, ICA, and IAB. (2) Construct the external common tangents of each pair of these incircles.
