Rene Descartes (1596-1650) invented the idea of plotting pairs of numbers on a plane using two perpendicular axes.

This "Cartesian coordinate" system is named after him. A linear equation appears as a straight line.

Other equations produce different geometrical shapes, and this branch of math is called Analytic Geometry.
