What is Analytic geometry?
In classical mathematics, '''analytic geometry''', also known as '''coordinate geometry''' or '''Cartesian geometry''', is the study of [[geometry]] using a [[coordinate system]], usually the [[Cartesian coordinate system]]. As [[Vector|vectors]] are frequently used, it is also known as '''vector geometry'''. In most cases, tools from [[algebra]] (especially [[linear algebra]]) are used to solve problems.
