He was instrumental in making Descartes' work comprehensible to the broader mathematical community and expanding it through commentaries, making Leiden the center of the mathematical community for a short period in the middle of the seventeenth century.
Van Schooten was one of the first to suggest, in exercises published in 1657, that these ideas be extended to three-dimensional space. Van Schooten's efforts also made Leiden the centre of the mathematical community for a short period in the middle of the seventeenth century. In elementary geometry Van Schooten's theorem is named after him.
