Answer 4

This is the type of question that any of the major search engines should be able to answer.  Let's see:

Descartes emphasized scientific method based on rationalization and logic rather than attempting to explain the world based merely on observations.

Also, he originated the concept in math of plotting points on a linearly progressive set of lines called cartesian coordinates. He is often said to be the founder of analytical geometry. He also discovered negative roots and exponential notation. He studied optics, such as reflection and refraction of light. He wrote about physiology (the working of body parts) and psychology, where he argued that emotions were generated from physiological causes.
