Geometry of Descartes (x)

René Descartes (A French philosopher, scientist and mathematician, 1596~1650)

"나는 생각한다. 고로 존재한다. cogito, ergo sum" - René Descartes (in his book  "방법서설, Discourse on the Method", 1637).

Pierre de Fermat (A French mathematician, 1607~1665)

"Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos & generaliter nullam in infinitum ultra quadratum potestatem in duos eiusdem nominis fas est dividere cuius rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi. Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet." in the margin of the Arithmetica around 1637 ...

Daniel Bernoulli and his book Hydrodynamica (1738)

Methodus inveniendi lineas curvas (1744) - Euler's book

Leonhard Euler (A Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer and logician, 1707~1783)

Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749~1827)

Read Euler, read Euler, he is the master of us all.

Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777~1855)

The study of Euler's works will remain the best school for the different fields of mathematics, and nothing else can replace it.

Jean le Rond d'Alembert (A French mathematician, mechanician and physicist, 1717~1783)

D'Alembert's principle generalizes the principle of virtual work from static to dynamical systems by introducing forces of inertia which result in dynamic equilibrium. (His contribution was to demonstrate that the forces of constraint vanish.)

A general solution of the one-dimensional wave equation is referred to as d'Alembert's formula (1747). 

D'Alembert's paradox: the drag force is zero on a body moving with constant velocity (1752).
