They showed how mathematics and measurement could be used in scientific investigation. (~PSPLieKur)
Descartes' mathematical formulas are used frequently in geometry. His slope theory and other algebraic formulas related to the geometric plane are still the standard in mathematics and his ideas helped form the basis of modern calculus.
Rene Descartes discoveries helped benefit mankind in many ways. His influence in mathematics is still used today in engineering, science, and every day life. His 'Meditations on First Philosophy' is a standard text at most university philosophy departments today.
Rene Descartes is credited with being the first modern rationalist, following in the footsteps of Plato and Aristotle. Despite this, Descartes was never very vocal when it came to politics, but this didn't stop people from proclaiming him as the inspiration for the French Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man.

Mathematics is a branch of science in its own right.
mathematics's, thinking and the last one was philosophy
Descartes was a mathematician and a philosopher, not a scientist. Of course, his work in mathematics has been very useful to science.
Actually, Topology is a branch of mathematics.
The two areas that Rene Descartes made a lasting impression in were philosophy and mathematics.
