René Descartes (1596-1650)
Rene Descartes was the mathematician that applied algebra to geometry.
he was a German mathematician and scientist who contributed to many fields, number theory, analysis, statistics, geometry, electrostatics, astronomy and optics
Euclid, a Greek mathematician, is known as the "Father of Geometry." He wrote a mathematical treatise called "Elements," which is one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics. In "Elements," Euclid presented a systematic approach to geometry, including definitions, postulates, and theorems, which laid the foundation for the study of geometry for centuries to come. Euclid's work also introduced the concept of mathematical proofs, which are essential in establishing the validity of mathematical statements.
Euclid is known as the Father of Geometry or The Alexandrian mathematician.

Rene descartes..
Yes. There were mathematicians who were in geometry. In fact, anyone who contributed to our understanding of geometry was a mathematician.

The analytic geometry was developed by French mathematician and philosopher Rene Descartes as a new branch of mathematics which unified the algebra and geometry in a such way that we can visualize numbers as points on a graph, equations as geometric figures, and geometric figures as equations.
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.

Analytical geometry was founded by the French mathematician, Renee Descartes. As for subsequent contributors to that subject, I will leave that for other contributors to add.

All Euclid geometry can be translated to Analytic Geom. And of course, the opposite too. In fact, any geometry can be translated to Analytic Geom.
Analytic Geometry is useful when manipulating equations for planes and straight lines. You can get more information about Analytic Geometry at the Wikipedia. Once on the page, type "Analytic Geometry" into the search field at the top of the page and press enter to bring up the information.
