Does anyone on the list have any information about when and how lines
(also curves, planes, etc.) started to be treated as sets of points?
(I distinguish this from the idea that a line is generated by the motion
of a point, as in Newton"s Tractatus de quadratura curvarum.)
Although all information is appreciated, precise citations are appreciated
most of all.
With thanks in advance to all who reply,
Greg Moore
