 The name cartesian comes from the

French mathematician and philosopher

René Descartes (Latin: Cartesius), who
worked to merge algebra and Euclidean
geometry. This work was important in
creating calculus and cartography.
 

• The idea of this system was developed in 1637 in two works

by Descartes. In part two of his Discourse on Method,
Descartes explains plotting the position of a point or object on
a surface, using two perpendicular axes as measuring guides.
In La Géométrie, he further explores these ideas.
