analytic geometry

analytic geometry (uncountable)

1. (geometry) The subbranch of geometry that investigates geometrical figures via the mathematical properties of their representations in a coordinate system.
   • 1889, Arthur Sherburne Hardy, Elements of Analytic Geometry, Ginn, published 1891, page 12:

     Having thus noted the distinction between Analytic Geometry and Geometry, let us note in what way it differs from Algebra.

   • 1921, Claude Irwin Palmer, William Charles Krathwohl, Analytic Geometry, McGraw-Hill, page 261,

     In plane analytic geometry, all the points and lines are confined to one plane.

   • 2018, Peter Kuhfittig, Technical Calculus with Analytic Geometry, 5th Edition, Cengage Learning (BROOKS/COLE), page 1,

     Analytic geometry may be defined as the study of classical geometry by means of algebra.
