It has been one of the most influential books in history, as much for its method as for its mathematical content. The method consists of assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and then proving many other propositions ( theorems logical system. The Elements begin with plane geometry, still taught in secondary school as the first axiomatic system and the first examples of formal proof . The Elements goes on to the solid geometry of three dimensions, and Euclidean geometry was subsequently extended to any finite number of dimensions. Much of the Elements states results of what is now called number theory , proved using geometrical methods. For over two thousand years, the adjective "Euclidean" was unnecessary because no other sort of geometry had been conceived. Euclid's axioms seemed so intuitively obvious that any theorem proved from them was deemed true in an absolute sense. Today, however, many other self-consistent non-Euclidean geometries are known, the first ones having been discovered in the early 19th century.

It has its origins in ancient Greece, under the early geometer and mathematician Euclid. Euclidean geometry is, simply put, the geometry of Euclidean Space . Euclidean space, and Euclidean geometry by extension, is assumed to be flat and non-curved. Shapes on a piece of paper, for example, such as in a high school geometry course, is and example of two-dimensional Euclidean geometry, or in other words geometry in two-dimensional Euclidean space. The shapes themselves may be curved, both in terms of its edges and its faces and such; the shape itself may curve through space. But what distinguishes Euclidean space is the fact that the space itself does not curve. In the two-dimensional example of a piece of paper, the space itself is the piece of paper (not the shapes on them), and is Euclidean if on a flat desktop; the space becomes non-Euclidean when the piece of paper is bent or curved or folded in on itself. Euclidean space and its geometries can extend into three-dimensions (solid shapes such as polyhedrons ), four-dimensions, and beyond with no limit (hyper-solids such as arbitrary

Non-Euclidean geometry Geometry and topology index History Topics Index In about 300 BC Euclid wrote The Elements, a book which was to become one of the most famous books ever written. Euclid stated five postulates on which he based all his theorems: To draw a straight line from any point to any other. To produce a finite straight line continuously in a straight line. To describe a circle with any centre and distance. That all right angles are equal to each other. That, if a straight line falling on two straight lines make the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles. It is clear that the fifth postulate is different from the other four. It did not satisfy Euclid and he tried to avoid its use as long as possible - in fact the first 28 propositions of The Elements are proved without using it. Another comment worth making at this point is that Euclid , and many that were to follow him, assumed that straight lines were infinite. Proclus (410-485) wrote a commentary on The Elements where he comments on attempted proofs to deduce the fifth postulate from the other four, in particular he notes that

Introduction to Non-Euclidean Geometry From EscherMath Jump to: navigation search So far we have looked at what is commonly called Euclidean geometry. There are occasions where this type of geometry doesn’t get one very far. Suppose we look at this sphere and want to measure the distance between the centers of two 5-pointed stars. You can’t just use a ruler, because you can’t put the ruler flat on the sphere to measure the length. If measuring length is already tricky, how would you find area? Famous Early Geometers Pythagoras (ca. 540 BC) Showed that in a right triangle the sum of the squares of the sides equals the square of the hypotenuse. Plato (ca 380 BC) Laid the basis for formal geometry. His name is associated with the Platonic solids. Above the entrance to his school of Philosophy (the Academy) was engraved : “Let no one ignorant of geometry enter my doors” Aristotle (ca 340 BC) The tutor of Alexander the Great, also trained many of the great geometers of the time. Euclid (ca 300 BC) The first to write down the postulates for what is now known as Euclidean geometry. He was associated with the famous School of Alexandria. Archimedes (ca 225 BC) Pliny called him “the God of Mathematics”. He was also associated with the School of Alexandria. His name is now associated with the Archimedean solids. He was killed during the Siege of Syracuse. He was so immersed in his math that he supposedly did not notice the city being taken over by the Romans.

Search the Internet with Kids.Net.Au Encyclopedia > Euclidean geometry Article Content Euclidean geometry Euclidean geometry , also called " flat " or " parabolic " geometry, is named after the Greek mathematician Euclid . Euclid's text Elements is an early systematic treatment of this kind of geometry , based on axioms (or postulates ). This is the kind of geometry familiar to most people, since it is the kind usually taught in high school Euclidean geometry is distinguished from other geometries by the parallel postulate , which is usually phrased as follows: Through a point not on a given straight line, one and only one line can be drawn that never meets the given line. In particular, this postulate separates Euclidean geometry from hyperbolic geometry , where many parallel lines could be drawn through the point, and from elliptic and projective geometry , where no parallel lines exist. (Euclidean geometry does, however, share the parallel postulate with some geometries, such as certain finite geometries[?] Since Euclid's time, other mathematicians have laid out more thorough axiomatic systems for Euclidean geometry, such as
