The ‘‘problem of exactness’’ consists in determining, in different historical periods, the canons of constructions deemed appropriate for mathematical problem-solving. This article is about the changing of the canons of construction between the half of the 17th to the first half of the 18th century. We also introduce a new construction for two transcendental curves: the tractrix and the logarithmic curves.
