Descartes was unmarried all his life. Who is this love book written for? This love book is not a word, but a mathematical equation. What is Descartes most famous for? Heart line? Equation, behind this, is a sad love story.
Descartes was born in 1595. When he was young, he went to a Jesuit school and got a law degree at the age of 20. Although he received a good education, Descartes thought that knowledge in any field except mathematics in the world was weak, so he did not receive a formal education and began to roam around Europe.
From 1630 to 1634, Descartes taught himself anatomy and physiology, and also did research in meteorology and mathematics. Descartes wrote a lot of modern science in The World, but he was not an authority and his theological thought was deeply rooted, so Descartes didn't publish it.
164 1 year, Descartes published Meditation in another way. He clarified that he was a devout believer in God and a devout Catholic, and then began to prove whether God existed. However, Catholicism still dislikes his views, and he is accused of being an atheist. This book was not only banned, but also exiled.
Descartes emigrated to Sweden in hunger and cold. Although he has accomplished nothing, he is still obsessed with mathematics. 1649, 52-year-old Descartes studied mathematics in the streets of Stockholm and lived a hungry life. This year, he met 18-year-old Swedish princess Christine.
It's a sunny afternoon, and Princess Christina has just returned from abroad. She happened to see Descartes crouching underground studying mathematics. The princess is very interested in mathematics. At this time, the princess was dating a member of the royal family and was unhappy all day, so she asked Descartes to be her teacher.
Under the guidance of Descartes, the princess's mathematics advanced by leaps and bounds, and Descartes also introduced her to a new field-rectangular coordinate system. They are inseparable every day, and they also have a secret love. Descartes knew that he was not worthy of the princess and planned to leave quietly before making a big mistake.
Unexpectedly, the princess realized Descartes' thoughts and confessed to him first. Descartes chose to accept the princess in the face of this unbearable feeling, but the fact that they met at 5 o'clock every morning also reached the king's ears. How can the king tolerate his daughter marrying a 52-year-old man?
The king expelled Descartes from Sweden, and Descartes returned to France in despair. He thought he could forget Christine, but it was at this time that the Black Death broke out in France. Descartes was unfortunately ill and missed the princess more. He began to write to the princess, hoping to see her again before he died.
First, I sent 12 letters, but they were all stopped by the king. He thought the princess didn't love him, but he sent the letter 13 with the last hope. This is an equation: r=a( 1-sin? ), after the king received the letter, he couldn't understand it at all. He called mathematicians all over the country, and no one could understand him.
The king couldn't stand that his daughter was always unhappy, so he showed her the letter. When the princess saw it, she immediately drew the figure. Is that it? Heart shape? Christine also knew that Descartes still loved her, and she rejected all her suitors. After the king died, Christine succeeded to the throne. However, when she sent someone to look for Descartes, she heard that he had passed away.
The love story between Descartes and the princess was widely sung and advertised by a mineral water.
