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. Use the link below and at least read the first paragraph to make your introduction to this world class intellectual.
What else can I help you with?
An outstanding mathematician who wrote the book of elements of geometry which basis for modern geometry?
Euclid compiled the book 'Elements' which has been used to teach the basics of geometry for more than 2,000 years.
When was analytic geometry invented?
Although Descartes is generally credited with inventing analytical geometry, several aspects had been used by the Greek mathematicians Menaechmus (4th century BC) and Apollonius of Perga (3rd century BC). Much later (11th century), the Persian mathematician Omar Khayyam, used methods which modern mathematicians consider akin to analytical geometry. In 1637 Rene Descartes published his work on the topic but it was incomplete and was in French. It took another decade or so before it was translated into Latin and some of the gaps filled that Descartes' ideas took off.

How did Rene Descartes help the world?
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'

What were the major contributions of mathematician Alexander Grothendieck to the field of algebraic geometry?
Alexander Grothendieck made significant contributions to algebraic geometry by introducing new and powerful techniques, such as sheaf theory and homological algebra, which revolutionized the field. His work laid the foundation for modern algebraic geometry and had a profound impact on mathematics as a whole.
