Best Answer

René Descartes, in La geometrie, 1637, introduced the concept of the graph of a polynomial equation. He popularized the use of letters from the beginning of the alphabet to denote constants and letters from the end of the alphabet to denote variables in the general formula for a polynomial in one variable. Descartes introduced the use of superscripts to denote exponents as well.
