Descartes didn't really 'discover' things. He was a philosopher and mathematician. He is known, amongst other things, for developing the cartesian system of co-ordinates (the xy system we usually use for graphs), founding rationalist philosophy, for his work on optics, and for laying the mathematical foundations for the development of the calculus.
