Source sentences:
text: This is in contrast to analytic geometry, which uses coordinates to translate geometric propositions into algebraic formulas.
text: Since analytic geometry uses Algebra and the coordinate planes for geometric figures, it tends to be more numerical in nature, and thus has proven to be an important branch of mathematics used by engineers and physicists.
