英语中人的姓化作形容词 (如 Riemannian, euclidean, Galois, cartesian) 后首字母有大写的要求吗?

诚恐谢邀……

这个应该没有官方规定吧,就像法语有 Académie Française 负责规范,英语没有。不过我搜到 Astronomy & Astrophysics 上面的规范是:

CAPITALIZE all adjectives and verbs formed from proper names, such as Poissonian or Compton, no matter how familiar it has become: Newtonian. One of few exceptions to this is "cartesian".

而维基百科上面基本上全都首字母大写了,包括笛卡尔。
