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.
