Rene Descartes.
He was also a philosopher who started existentialism that answers the question "how do I know I actually exist?". The answer he came up with is "I think. Therefore I am"

One of Descartes most enduring legacies was his development of Cartesian geometry, the algebraic system taught in schools today - essentially he invented graphs and graph paper.
