In mathematics, analytic geometry, also known as coordinate geometry or Cartesian geometry, is the study of geometry using a coordinate system. This contrasts...

algebraic geometry and analytic geometry are two closely related subjects. While algebraic geometry studies algebraic varieties, analytic geometry deals with...

geometry. In the early 17th century, there were two important developments in geometry. The first was the creation of analytic geometry, or geometry with...

study of differential and analytic manifolds. This is obtained by extending the notion of point: In classical algebraic geometry, a point of an affine variety...

Additionally, the extra structure of complex geometry allows, especially in the compact setting, for global analytic results to be proven with great success...
