| Jul 25, 2022 at 6:32 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | Newton's classifications of real plane cubics is another example of algebraic geometry. This was done long before complex numbers were introduced to algebraic geometry. | |
| Jul 25, 2022 at 6:23 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | Algebraic geometry over the field of real numbers was considered by Apollonius of Perga, and over rational numbers by Diophantus of Alexandria. They only did not know that they were doing algebraic geometry. | |

| Jul 24, 2022 at 23:44 | comment | added | Sam Hopkins | I've read that although sometimes this idea is described as modern (e.g. attributed to Weil or even Grothendieck), in fact it was already essentially the way that the German algebraic number theorists of the 19th century (I guess, Dirichlet, Dedekind, Kummer, Kronecker, etc.) thought. | |
