René Descartes contributed to varied disciplines including philosophy, mathematics and science. He investigated and did remarkable work in optics, meteorology and geometry in efforts to deconstruct the universe to its mathematical foundations. Of all the discoveries he made, perhaps most important was creating the scientific method and deductive reasoning.

Rene Descartes discoveries helped benefit mankind in many ways. His influence in mathematics is still used today in engineering, science, and every day life. His 'Meditations on First Philosophy' is a standard text at most university philosophy departments today.
Descartes' mathematical formulas are used frequently in geometry. His slope theory and other algebraic formulas related to the geometric plane are still the standard in mathematics and his ideas helped form the basis of modern calculus.
Their fundamental ideas can. Certain parts of their theories such as Cartesian physics have been generally rejected, but their fundamental approaches are still valuable today. .
He discovered the formulas for possible algebraic geometry, including the unknown variables, x, y, and z, and the known variables, a, b, and c. If you're having trouble in algebra, now you know who discovered it! :)
back then 3.6 billion years ago there was no oxygen but today we have many things
