Francois Viete (1540-1603) was a French mathematician who introduced convenient notations for algebraic formulas, like "x" and "y" in mathematical equations. For example:

<math>2x + 3y = 3</math>

Viete inspired fellow French mathematician [[Rene Descartes]], who then developed a coordinate system for graphing such equations.
