Erratum to: The Conceptual Basis to Work Studies Agamenon R. E. Oliveira Erratum to: Chapter 2 in: A. R. E. Oliveira, A History of the Work Concept, History of Mechanism and Machine Science, DOI 10.1007/978-94-007-7705-7_2 Chapter 2 contains an unfortunate error in the footnotes. The following footnote should be added as further information on Descartes’s Geometry mentioned on page 49: Descartes’s Geometry is a book of 87 pages divided into three parts: Book I—Problems which we can build with circles and straight lines only; Book II—On the nature of curved lines; Book III—On the construction of prob- lems which are solids or more than solids. It deals with the study of problems of geometry becoming algebraic equations. On page 3 of Book I Descartes describes his method: Thus, to solve any problem, we should use each in order, first con- sidering those already done, and find values for all lines to be constructed, also for those unknown. Then, without considering any difference between the known and unknown lines, we should proceed to solve them in the order that presents itself the most naturally of all such that they depend mutually one on the other, until one can find a
