Note :
Geometric is often used ,
as opposed to algebraic ,
to include processes or solutions in which the propositions or principles of geometry are made use of rather than those of algebra .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Geometrical is often used in a limited or strictly technical sense ,
as opposed to mechanical ;
thus ,
a construction or solution is geometrical which can be made by ruler and compasses ,
i .
e .,
by means of right lines and circles .
Every construction or solution which requires any other curve ,
or such motion of a line or circle as would generate any other curve ,
is not geometrical ,
but mechanical .
By another distinction ,
a geometrical solution is one obtained by the rules of geometry ,
or processes of analysis ,
and hence is exact ;
while a mechanical solution is one obtained by trial ,
by actual measurements ,
with instruments ,
etc .,
and is only approximate and empirical .
