Early modern methods of analysisons were analysis called “synthesis.” Moreover, a few classical sources. spoke in general about this arrangement. The most important of these texts was the opening of the seventh book of Pappus’ .; I quote this passage here in full:

Using algebra — Viète’s analysis or to non-numerical quantities (such as line segments or other geometrical magnitudes), thus legitimizing the use of algebra in geometry while retaining the conviction that geometrical magnitude and number were essentially different. Viète called this system “new algebra” or “specious logistics.”

Keplere of algebra. For Kepler the issue was of central philosophical importance, and for that reason his analysis of constructional exactness in geometry was both more detailed and more critical than any in his period.

The early modern tradition of geometrical problem solving; survey and examplesness of construction during the period c. 1590 – c. 1650. The debates primarily concerned the solution of point construction problems, that is, problems that admitted one or a finite number of solutions only. Solving such problems was indeed seen as a major, if not the main, aim of geometry..
