Geometry


Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.

    

Geometry

Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. Geometry is, along with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics.

Euclidian Geometry

Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to Euclid, an ancient Greek mathematician, which he described in his textbook on geometry, Elements. Euclid's approach consists in assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms (postulates) and deducing many other propositions (theorems) from these.

Non-Euclidian Geometry

Non-Euclidean geometry describes spaces where Euclid's famous parallel postulate (that parallel lines never meet) doesn't hold, leading to geometries like Hyperbolic geometry (many parallel lines, triangles < 180 degrees) and Elliptic geometry (no parallel lines, triangles > 180 degrees, like on a sphere).

Non-Euclidean geometry geometries were not widely accepted as legitimate until the 19th century.

Hyperbolic geometry (also called Lobachevskian geometry or Bolyai–Lobachevskian geometry) is a non-Euclidean geometry

Spherical geometry or spherics (from Ancient Greek σφαιρικά) is the geometry of the two-dimensional surface of a sphere or the n-dimensional surface of higher dimensional spheres.

Quantum Geometry

In quantum gravity, quantum geometry is the set of mathematical concepts that generalize geometry to describe physical phenomena at distance scales comparable to the Planck length.

Noncommutative Geometry

Noncommutative geometry (NCG) is a branch of mathematics concerned with a geometric approach to noncommutative algebras, and with the construction of spaces that are locally presented by noncommutative algebras of functions, possibly in some generalized sense.
