Watching a fly fly about in his room and realised he could use three coordinates to give it's position in space.
Renee Descartes invented the Cartesian Coordinate system, commonly known as rectangular coordinates.

Rene Descartes
The Cartesian plane coordinates
It was invented by rene desCARTES and therefore named after him. It was named after him from his latin name, Renatus Cartesius.
Rene Descartes invented the Cartesian Coordinate System, hence the name, and Ramanujan created the coordinate graph.
Cartesian coordinates after the 17th Century French mathematician and philosopher, Rene Descartes
The Cartesian Coordinate System was discovered by Rene Descartes.
Yes, René Descartes is credited with the development of Cartesian coordinates, which provide a way to specify points in a plane using pairs of numerical coordinates (x, y). This system, introduced in his work "La Géométrie" in 1637, laid the foundation for analytic geometry by linking algebra and geometry. Descartes' approach allowed for the representation of geometric shapes using algebraic equations, revolutionizing mathematics.
The Cartesian Coordinate System.
René Descartes introduced the concept of Cartesian coordinates in his work "La Géométrie," published in 1637. This system allowed for the representation of geometric shapes algebraically and laid the foundation for analytic geometry. Descartes' innovative approach integrated algebra and geometry, revolutionizing mathematics.
