Geometri analitis: Perbedaan antara revisi

Matematikawan Yunani berhasil memecahkan masalah dan membuktikan teorema dengan menggunakan metode yang merangkai penggunaan koordinat dan ternyata itu adalah geometri analit. Menaechmus apparentlyrupanya derivedmemperoleh these properties of the conic sections and others as well. Since this material has a strong resemblance to the use of coordinates, as illustrated above, it has sometimes been maintained that Menaechmus had analytic geometry. Such a judgment is warranted only in part, for certainly Menaechmus was unaware that any equation in two unknown quantities determines a curve. In fact, the general concept of an equation in unknown quantities was alien to Greek thought. It was shortcomings in algebraic notations that, more than anything else, operated against the Greek achievement of a full-fledged coordinate geometry. Apollonius of Perga
