the Cartesian plane



The Cartesian plane consists of two number lines, one horizontal and one vertical cut at one point. The horizontal line is called abscissa or cross (x) and vertical axis ordered or yes (y), item where they are cut is called origin.
The Cartesian plane is intended to describe the position of points, which are represented by their coordinates or ordered pairs.
This is the new subject of mathematics that we have begun this week. After knowing what exactly is a Cartesian plane, which utilities can have in everyday life, how you can apply to organizing a multitude of activities in many areas and disciplines of knowledge, the question arises.

_Quién invented the Cartesian plane?
As always, the first step is to look in the dictionaries we have in our table. Are varied, from different publishers, some older than others but all are worth to know what we want.
The answer is prompt: the Cartesian plane is attributed to René Descartes, philosopher, mathematician and scientific French. The dictionary states that Descartes is considered the pioneer of modern philosophy.
This information extends some things we already know: that philosophy is born in ancient Greece around the sixth century BC and browsing history as a unique body of knowledge to that in the seventeenth century the foundations of modern philosophy of the hand, among others, Descartes .
René Descartes was born on March 31, 1596 near Poitiers. Son of a lawyer, his mother died a year after its birth during the birth of a brother who did not survive .. He and his two brothers were raised by his grandmother because his father was absent for long periods because of their work in Parliament of Britain and ended up leaving their children to remarry an English maid.
At 18 he entered the University of Poitiers, earning his degree in 1616. Descartes was always an outstanding student. It based
his philosophical thought on the need to take a "starting point" upon which to build all knowledge. In his role
mathematics led him to create analytic geometry, also begins taking a starting point: two perpendicular lines that intersect at a point called the "origin of coordinates, and devising the so-called Cartesian coordinates.

Old Ladies Wearing Gridles

Tell me about












often seems that things magical and very special, only occur in the books.













In our class we are following some activities encourage reading. We have read many books, some we liked more, some less. This year we have been reading in the second quarter we have engaged a very special way.





















is a book called "Tell me about the ghost of beacon , written by an author Asturian called Tina White. It follows the adventures of two good friends, Janus and Tea, where people of the Asturian coast during the summer. Among the highlights Tristant characters, an old lighthouse keeper who failed to save a sinking ship because of some characters caracaterísticos of some towns in the Cantabrian coast: the beachcombers.




The book we liked to tease, but the biggest surprise was the meeting we had with the author herself in person was a Friday morning with all WE ARE s . We asked questions, told us many interesting things related to history.






This morning was really magical finished with our books signed by Tina with his dedication to every one of WE ARE @ s . Thank you, Tina!

This is the story. We hope you enjoy it.

Agnodice GHOST LIGHT AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS WATCH THE SUN

Agnodice born and lived during the fourth century C. in Athens, a city that was punishable by death penalty for women who chose to study and practice medicine. This prohibition is filled with regret, therefore prevented him from doing what he wanted most. His parents, aware of her sadness, encouraged her to, despite the law, to study medicine.
To achieve this, Agnodice cut his hair, dressed as a man and went to the city of Alexandria in Egypt to study with the best doctors of his time.
successfully passed the examinations and, years later, he returned to Athens.
still disguised as a man, began working as specialist medical care delivery. He soon gained a reputation among his patients and came to meet the women of the richest and most powerful families in the city. This aroused the jealousy and envy of some colleagues reported that medical malpractice.
During the trial, Agnodice had to discover it was a woman and immediately, was accused of violating the law banning women from practicing medicine. His patients were gathered in front of court and threatened to kill if executed Agnodice. Under this pressure, the court declared innocent and allowed to continue with their profession.
The following year he abolished the unjust law and other women could become doctors.
