Almost two thousand years of geometry! That is how long it took, with Descartes, to develop the first tools for studying those mathematical objects we all think we know: curves. How far we have come since the tentative explorations of ancient Greek scholars!

The development of linear algebra gave rise to new terms, such as "scalar", and revived others, such as "vector".

Actual infinity is a mathematical fiction, useful in calculations and proofs alike. We may reject it and make do with potential infinity. But if we accept the notion of infinity, there must be more than one. Georg Cantor—him again!—proved it.
