后果之一笛卡尔的新方法几何（1637年）是增加了兴趣的文书绘制圆锥部分。圆锥部分抽屉，这是我的名字给文书绘制圆锥部分在一个连续的运动，已经描述了较早，但核心作用的圆锥部分在几何笛卡尔使他们约1640年成为一个新的研究课题。本文概述了这种日益增长的兴趣的背景，然后描述了荷兰数学家货车Schooten（1615/6 - 1660）设计的一些仪器。最后介绍了该教材在数学教学中的应用。
One of the consequences of Descartes’ new approach to geometry (1637) was an increased interest in instruments for drawing conic sections. Conic section drawers, which is the name I shall give to instruments for drawing conic sections in a continuous movement, had been described earlier, but the central role of conic sections in the geometry of Descartes made them by about 1640 into a new topic of research. This article sketches the background to this growing interest and then describes some of the instruments designed by the Dutch mathematician Van Schooten (1615/6 – 1660). It concludes with an application of this material in mathematics teaching.
