Remarks on your essay

Hi Philip,
Thanks for contributing to the wiki with your essay. Here's some feedback for you.

• Your topic is interesting, I like the idea of looking for the key elements that allow to construct the distance formula. From Pythagoras to Euclide and to Descartes. I would suggest maybe adding more historical information so we get a better feeling of this process. A picture or an example could be great additions as well. See below for other technical suggestions.

• A title maybe? Using ==Title== makes things really easy.

• Consider using the <math>formulae here</math> formatting to display your math formulas. For example, typing <math>a^2</math> gives you $a^{2}$.

• Make sure you cite your sources, see below on how to format this in your page.

• When citing your sources, consider using the <ref></ref> tag which produces something like this. If you do so, you then need to add the tag<references/>where you would like to see your references collected. See the code for this page to see how I did this or check the reference.
