It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes who devised the Cartesian coordinate system
A general coordinate system had to be devised prior to describing planes or other objects. As provided in the link, Rene Descartes is considered the founder of the Cartesian coordinate system in 1637, but Fermat also made contributions. See related links on the lives of Descartes and Fermat.
a coordinate system is lines of longuitude and latitude that are used in a map to locate something. There is a coordiante in the Equatorial Coordinate System that is like longitude in the Geographical Coordinate System.....what is the coordinate? Celestial Equator?
Cartesian coordinate system.
A Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates. These coordinate system can be used to provide geometric interpretations for many branches of mathematics.
