Thomas Harriot's Artis Analyticae Praxis: An English ...
Viete's definition of analysis had distinguished three types: Zetetic (setting up
equations), Exegetic (solution of equations) and Poristic (investigating the truth of
the result). Definition 6 (of Zetetic) again demonstrates a move to pure algebra in
...

What this definition is intended to mean can be seen from the short sixth chapter:
"De Theorematum per Poristicen examinatione," (On the investigation of
theorems by the poristic art), which deals, however, more with “synthesis" and its
relation ...

bypassing Pappus's “expressions 'theoretical' (θεωρητικόν) and 'problematical' (
προβληματικόν).” While for Pappus, as we have seen, the difference between the
latter ...

To this end Viète divides his analytic art into three parts: zetetic, poristic and a
third called rhetic or exegetic. The zetetic finds an equation or proportion
between the magnitude sought and those given, the poristic investigates the truth
of a ...

In the poristic approach we are concerned with the finding of a solution and the
inversion is usually a construction (unless the solution is found to be impossible).

Where zetetic had denoted for Pappus theorem-proving analysis and poristic,
problem-solving analysis, Viete now makes zetetic analysis the procedure by
which a problem is transformed into an algebraic equation linking known and ...
