The name comes from the Latin word folium which means leaf . The curve was featured, along with a portrait of Descartes, on an Albanian stamp in 1966.

Descartes challenged Fermat to find the tangent line to the curve at an arbitrary point since Fermat had recently discovered a method for finding tangent lines. Fermat solved the problem easily, something Descartes was unable to do. ref Simmons, p. 101 ref Since the invention of calculus, the slope of the tangent line can be found easily using implicit differentiation .
