Euclid compiled the book 'Elements' which has been used to teach the basics of geometry for more than 2,000 years.
It was René Descartes who is generally thought of as launching modern analytic geometry. He was dubbed the "Father of Modern Philosophy" but was a superb mathematician, a scientist and a writer.

Euclid.
Ancient peoples in the Mediterranean region, particularly Greece and Egypt, are thought to have developed early forms of geometry to establish land boundaries, etc., several thousand years ago. Their basic knowledge of geometry eventually developed into the mathematics needed to design and erect huge structures like the Egyptian pyramids and the great buildings of ancient Greece. Many different geometric theories were developed over the centuries, often without adequate proofs. A Greek mathematician named Euclid collected all the proven mathematic theories of his time and collated them in a 13 volume treatise called Elements. Elements is still used, more than 2 millennium later, as the basis of modern geometry in today's elementary schools.

It is Robert Recorde
The famous book "The Elements" was written by the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. It is a mathematical and geometric treatise that serves as the foundation for modern geometry.

Euclid.
It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes
He became one of the most influential thinkers in human history and was sometimes called the founder of modern philosophy. He was also an outstanding mathematician inventing analytic geometry and attempting to devise the simple universal laws that governed all physical change. He introduced the famous phrase in English 'I think, therefore I am'

Euclid, a Greek mathematician, is credited with creating the theory of solving right angles. His work is known as Euclidean geometry, which laid the foundation for modern geometry.
Euclid, Aristotle, Plato, Pythagoras, and a much more modern, yet very important mathematician named Harold Scott MacDonald "Donald" Coxeter.
It was Pythagoras whose theorem states that for any right angle triangle when its hypotenuse is squared it is equal to the sum of its squared sides.Euclid, Pythagoras
