Answer:

B descartes

Explanation:

French philosopher Descartes stressed the use of mathematics for the safest way to gain truth.

He saw mathematics as a pure science and he is most known for his works in starting analytical geometry. He did so by using algebra and its principles to study Geometry.

His legacy remains in that, the use of the coordinate plane is also called on his name the Cartesian plane.

Analytical geometry is basically applying algebra to geometry.

The link between algebra and geometry enabled a better understanding of the areas of Calculus and analysis in Math.

Most known of his "cogio ergo sum", Descartes died at the age of 53 while he was in Sweden developing an academy of science.
