How can non-physical interact with the physical?
In cartesian dualism the pineal gland was seen as the point of connection, we now know the pineal gland controls the sleep-wake cycle.
But there are loads, wiki is a good place to start.
Cartesesian Dualism is seeing immaterial 'mind' as superior over body. It leads to accepting immaterial 'understanding' as possible, knowing what is 'good' without experience. That way the Pope can say: sex without condom is not cause of AIDS. Western Society is based on Cartesian Dualism. Quite opposed to 'neurology': "everything is physical"
1.Finding the solution to a system of linear equations can be found using cartesian coordinates. 2. Graph a circle and you can find the radius using cartesian coordinates.
The cartesian coordinates are plotted on the cartesian plane
It enabled mathematicians to apply algebra to solve geometric problems.

Cartesian Dualism named after it's creator Rene Descartes described the separation of mind and body as distinct aspects of a human being. Mind being immaterial and body as material. Mind is invisible, doesn't take up any space, and doesn't move. Cartesian dualism states that the mind can have a direct impact on the body (e.g. deciding to quit smoking causes the body to put the cigarettes down), and the body can have a direct impact on the mind (e.g. touching something hot causes the mind to send the message "move away"). Psychology is completely based on Cartesian Dualism, psyche = mind. Psychology originated as the 'science' that treats the 'mind' when something is 'wrong'. That way in the starting years of 'psychology' gays were treated because of 'wrong' sexual behavior.
The Cartesian plane is a 2 dimensional space of infinite extent in all directions. It has two axes at right angles to each other with a positive direction assigned to each. The axes intersect at a point called the origin. Every point in the plane can be uniquely identified by its distance from the origin along the two axes. The Cartesian plane allows problems in geometry can be reformulated in algebraic terms and this allows algebraic tools to be applied to geometric problems. Conversely, algebraic problems can presented in geometric form and geometric tools used to solve them. The Cartesian plane can be extended to 3 or more dimensions, where it makes use of Cartesian coordinates.
The two major divisions of philosophy are theoretical philosophy (dealing with knowledge, reality, and existence) and practical philosophy (concerned with ethics, values, and actions).
Some problems are easier to solve using polar coordinates, others using Cartesian coordinates.
There are actually four major divisions of philosophy; they are Epistemology, Metaphysics, Logic and Ethics. But these four divisions are under Dualism and Non Dualism.
Dualism is the theory that there are two opposite principles in everything, for example good and evil or the state of having two parts while Monism is the belief that there is only one god.
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of reality, existence, and being, while epistemology focuses on the nature and scope of knowledge, including its origins and validity.

The Cartesian system allows you to describe a geometric shape in algebraic terms. This allows algebraic techniques, such as differentiation or integration to be applied to solve problems in geometry. Conversely, geometrical results can be used to solve problems in algebra.
