Correct choices:
- He developed mathematical principles.
- He developed a new way to solve problems.
Why: Descartes created analytic geometry (linking algebra and geometry, Cartesian coordinates) and introduced a systematic method of reasoning (method of doubt and rules in the Discourse on the Method) that shaped scientific problem‑solving. He did not invent important new scientific instruments, and while he offered speculative physical theories, he is not mainly known for empirical discoveries about the universe.
