tornadoes and things made of atoms

Math is much easier when you’re interested, just hop into geometry/trigonometry for some of the more fun and interesting math. Rene Descartes was a probable INTP, and he is the Cartesian coordinate plain’s namesake. Get it? DesCartes? Cool stuff.

Yah. I knew that. Apparently the story is that on one of his many days spent in bed he was looking at the ceiling and a fly was there and he was like ‘I bet I could plot the fly’s position based on it’s distance from the corners’. Descartes man.
