[citation needed] Tacquet became a brilliant mathematician of international fame and his works were often reprinted and translated (into Italian and English).
His most famous work, which influenced the thinking of Blaise Pascal and his contemporaries, is Cylindricorum et annularium (1651).
In this book Tacquet presented how a moving point could generate a curve and the theories of area and volume.
In honor of André Tacquet, his name has been given to a small crater in the northeast part of the Moon, near the southern edge of Mare Serenitatis.
Tacquet claimed in his 1651 book Cylindricorum et annularium libri IV that The Jesuat Stefano degli Angeli provided a detailed response, defending Cavalieri's method.
