Descartes: Discourse Part 2

In this passage Descartes also talks about knowledge in mathematics and how he will solve those types of equations. He says that he will use lines to represent his relations because he sees it to be simple. He also had planned to create symbols to express the quantities. He says also that he was always practice his methods in order to strengthen his reasoning skills. I think that practice does strengthen people in whatever they are practicing.

  1. I can say that practice makes perfect. Descartes sure has a way of explaing things and how to intepet what needs to be and the best way to do that is to figure out what works for you.
