Synthetic geometry
Synthetic geometry is the branch of
geometry which makes use of theorems and synthetic observations to draw conclusions, as opposed to analytic geometry which uses
algebra to perform geometric computations and solve problems.
The geometry of
Euclid was indeed synthetic, though not all of the books covered topics of
pure geometry.
