Rene Descartes, (1596 - 1650 ) is the inventor of co-ordinate geometry. He had the idea to represent lines and curves by equations connecting x and y co-ordinates.
The CARTESIAN plane is named in his honour.
Rene Descartes was originally a soldier, fighting in several of the wars that raged between feudal lords across Europe at the time. One day, while in the middle of one of these campaigns, Descartes had a vision in which he believed that God instructed him to stop fighting and devote his life instead to the pursuit of science and wisdom.
