Surprisingly, the geometry of curved surfaces throws light on the geometry of the plane. More than 2000 years after Euclid formulated axioms for plane geometry, differential geometry showed that the parallel axiom does not follow from the other axioms of Euclid.

Four-dimensional theories match Virtual Reality because here time and space are configured through mutable lines. Since the discovery of non-Euclidean geometry, linearity has been submitted to a profound crisis. Mathematicians showed that there are not one but several geometries.

Abstract This chapter focuses on the connections between non-Euclidean geometries and the complex numbers. Euclid began with just five axioms, the first four of which never aroused controversy. However, the status of the fifth axiom (the so-called parallel axiom) was less clear, and it became the subject of investigations that ultimately

The Mathematics Teacher, 1922
About 2200 years ago there was published in Greek one of the most remarkable books of all times, Euclid's “Elements of Geometry”. It contains a systematic exposition of the leading propositions of elementary geometry and the elementary theory of numbers. It was at once adopted by the Greeks as the standard text book on pure mathematics.

It is unlikely that Euclid ever held his five postulates to be self-evident. Mathematicians sharing the Aristotelian conviction that only manifest truths may be admitted without proof in geometry usually did not find the fifth postulate quite so obvious as the other four.
