Why is René Descartes considered the father of analytical geometry?
Because René Descartes developed the Cartesian coordinate system, this system allows geometric shapes to be expressed in algebraic equations.
Descartes' works is still today the basis in analytic geometry.
What is the difference between an Euler circuit and an Euler path?
The difference between an Euler circuit and an Euler path is in the execution of the process. The Euler path will begin and end at varied vertices while the Euler circuit uses all the edges of the graph at once.
Rene Descartes used reason with certainty to disprove God's existence?
In Discourse on Method it would seem that he indeed does disprove God's existence only to hastily come up with an excuse as to how, despite all the evidence previously provided, that God actually exists. The logical leap to get there as you might find isn't terribly convincing, but convincing enough for the clergy at the time as he was never reprimanded for the work. If you doubt that he disproved God, consider his epitaph: "He who hides well lives well." For someone using reason to disproves God's existence in the time that he lived, this seems especially apt.
Different types of lines and their meanings in math?
There are many types of lines used in math and some of them are:-
Parallel lines never intersect
Perpendicular lines meet at right angles
Lines of intersection have opposite equal angles
Solidus line separates the numerator from the denominator in fractions
Line of best fit used in data correlation
Number line has numbers from minus to positive in ascending order
Line segments have defined end points
Straight line equations are plotted on the Cartesian plane
Transversal line cuts through parallel lines with special angular properties
What is the principle of lactometer?
A Lactometer is a little glass instrument that tests the purity of milk based on density/buoyancy and works on the principle of the specific gravity of milk.

What kind of education is required to be a mathematician?
A doctoral degree in mathematics usually is the minimum education needed, except in the Federal Government. Master's and Ph.D. degree holders with a strong background in mathematics and a related discipline, such as computer science or engineering, should have good employment opportunities in related occupations.

Drive law of reflection by using fermat's principle?
Out of all possible paths that light might take, to get from one point to another, it takes the path that requires the shortest time.
23
x16
138
230
368
This was direct multiplication
We can also Law of Distributivity
23 x 16
23 x(10+6)
230+138
368
Thus 368 is the required answer.

What was Alan turings profession?
Alan Turing was trained as a mathematician. During World War II, he worked for British Intelligence at Bletchley Park, where he specialized in cryptography (breaking secret codes). Using his expertise in mathematical logic, he developed an algorithm (a mathematical template) that was used to program a calculating machine to analyze German codes. The programming was successful and enabled the British to crack the German "Enigma" code; for several months the Allies had full access to German messages. Turing's work at Bletchley Park led directly to the development of the computer and modern research in artificial intelligence.
Although Turing never claimed to be a philosopher, his work on the nature of intelligence and machine "thinking" is considered a substantial contribution to the philosophical discussion on these issues.
How did Rene Descartes impact the Age of Enlightenment?

Where is the tomb of Aristotle?
Aristotle fled Athens in 322 B.C. due to anti-Macedonian attitude following the death of Alexander. He died that same year and willed his works to Cassander the future king of Macedonia and also a former student of his. He also requested of Cassander that he be buried with his wife who had died years before in Euboea. Cassander honored his former teacher with no ceremony as requested. The location is lost to time.
