Coordinate geometry
Revision as of 17:18, 24 August 2008 by FibonacciFan (talk | contribs) (analytic and coordinate geometry are basically the same thing)
Coordinate geometry, also known as analytic geometry, is an approach to geometry based on the notion of a coordinate system. The idea of coordinate geometry is often credited to Rene Descartes, and the most commonly used coordinate system is often refered to as a Cartesian coordinate system, as a result.
