Non-Euclidean Geometry

2021
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.

Non-Euclidean geometry

1989
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.

Non-Euclidean Geometry

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.

Non-Euclidean Geometries

1984
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.

Non-Euclidean Geometry

1997
Euclid’s Elements is dull, long-winded, and does not make explicit the fact that two circles can intersect, that a circle has an outside and an inside, that triangles can be turned over, and other assumptions essential to his system. By modern standards Bertrand Russell could call Euclid’s fourth proposition a ”tissue of nonsense” and declare it a ...
