Extractions: Version for printing Frans van Schooten should not be confused with his father, Frans van Schooten (the elder), who was professor at the engineering school in Leiden. 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.

Extractions: 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 (Mersennes 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 fathers 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. Schootens own work, the Geometria a Renato Des Cartes , appeared in two volumes 1659-1661. But many considered Schootens contributions to mathematics modest at best, especially his 1657 work

Extractions: Schooten, Frans van 1. Dates Born: Leiden, ca. 1615 (Nieuw Nederlandsch Biographisch Woordenboek does not insert the "ca.") Died: Leiden, 29 May 1660 Dateinfo: Birth Uncertain Lifespan: 2. Father Occupation: Academic, Engineer Frans van Schooten (the elder), professor at the engineering school connected with Leiden. The father was also a military engineer. 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.
