Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometry Topic Index Geometry Index Regents Exam Prep Center Euclidean Geometry (the high school geometry we all know and love) is the study of geometry based on definitions, undefined terms (point, line and plane) and the assumptions of the mathematician Euclid (330 B.C.) Euclid's text Elements was the first systematic discussion of geometry. While many of Euclid's findings had been previously stated by earlier Greek mathematicians, Euclid is credited with developing the first comprehensive deductive system. Euclid's approach to geometry consisted of proving all theorems from a finite number of postulates (axioms). Euclidean Geometry is the study of flat space . We can easily illustrate these geometrical concepts by drawing on a flat piece of paper or chalkboard. In flat space, we know such concepts as: the shortest distance between two points is one unique straight line. the sum of the angles in any triangle equals 180 degrees.

Navigation Panel: (These buttons explained below Question Corner and Discussion Area Non-Euclidean Geometry Asked by Brent Potteiger on April 5, 1997 I have recently been studying Euclid (the "father" of geometry), and was amazed to find out about the existence of a non-Euclidean geometry. Being as curious as I am, I would like to know about non-Euclidean geometry. Thanks!!! All of Euclidean geometry can be deduced from just a few properties (called "axioms") of points and lines. With one exception (which I will describe below), these properties are all very basic and self-evident things like "for every pair of distinct points, there is exactly one line containing both of them". This approach doesn't require you to get into a philosophical definition of what a "point" or a "line" actually is. You could attach those labels to any concepts you like, and as long as those concepts satisfy the axioms, then all of the theorems of geometry are guaranteed to be true (because the theorems are deducible purely from the axioms without requiring any further knowledge of what "point" or "line" means). Although most of the axioms are extremely basic and self-evident, one is less so. It says (roughly) that if you draw two lines each at ninety degrees to a third line, then those two lines are parallel and never intersect. This statement, called

65. The Ontology And Cosmology Of Non-Euclidean Geometry A philosophical essay. http://www.friesian.com/curved-1.htm

The Ontology and Cosmology of Non-Euclidean Geometry Though there never were a circle or triangle in nature, the truths demonstrated by Euclid would for ever retain their certainty and evidence. David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding , Section IV, Part I, p. 20 [L.A. Shelby-Bigge, editor, Oxford University Press, 1902, 1972, p. 25] [ note Until recently, Albert Einstein's complaints in his later years about the intelligibility of Quantum Mechanics often led philosophers and physicists to dismiss him as, essentially, an old fool in his dotage. Happily, this kind of thing is now coming to an end as philosophers and mathematicians of the caliber of Karl Popper and Roger Penrose conspicuously point out the continuing conceptual difficulties of quantum theory [cf. Penrose's searching discussion in The Emperor's New Mind reductio ad absurdum argument against A fine statement about all this can be found in Joseph Agassi's foreword to the recent Einstein Versus Bohr , by the dissident physicist Mendel Sachs (Open Court, 1991): It is amazing that such things need to be said, and it is particularly revealing that the responses Agassi got to his questions reminded him of the intolerance of religious dogmatism.

3: What is Non-Euclidean Geometry 1.1 Euclidean Geometry: The geometry with which we are most familiar is called Euclidean geometry. Euclidean geometry was named after Euclid, a Greek mathematician who lived in 300 BC. His book, called "The Elements", is a collection of axioms, theorems and proofs about squares, circles acute angles, isosceles triangles, and other such things. Most of the theorems which are taught in high schools today can be found in Euclid's 2000 year old book. Euclidean geometry is of great practical value. It has been used by the ancient Greeks through modern society to design buildings, predict the location of moving objects and survey land. 1.2 Non-Euclidean Geometry: non-Euclidean geometry is any geometry that is different from Euclidean geometry. Each Non-Euclidean geometry is a consistent system of definitions, assumptions, and proofs that describe such objects as points, lines and planes. The two most common non-Euclidean geometries are spherical geometry and hyperbolic geometry. The essential difference between Euclidean geometry and these two non-Euclidean geometries is the nature of parallel lines: In Euclidean geometry, given a point and a line, there is exactly one line through the point that is in the same plane as the given line and never intersects it. In spherical geometry there are no such lines. In hyperbolic geometry there are at least two distinct lines that pass through the point and are parallel to (in the same plane as and do not intersect) the given line.

KSEG Free Interactive Geometry Software Update: May 1, 2007 Mongolian Batnasan sent me a translation into Mongolian. Update: Februrary 3, 2006 KSEG 0.403 and Traditional Chinese I finally got around to a bit of maintenance on KSEG: it now uses qmake for building and should build on Qt 3.x without the compatibility headers. Yao Chang-Li sent me a Traditional Chinese translation and help file . It is included in the .403 file. Update: May 15, 2005 KSEG in Chinese Xu Xianghua kindly contributed Chinese translations of the KSEG UI and the help. Download the UI translation here and the help here Update: July 3, 2004 KSEG 0.401 for Windows! By popular demand, despite my dislike for microsoft, I've ported KSEG to windows using the old Qt noncommercial version 2.3 (I hope I'm not violating anything). The source is uglier and there are some bugs not in the Linux version. Download the whole thing here (it should run out of the box). Sample Output Images (not screenshotsthose are below) of a well-known theorem and a strange locus, both exported with KSEG: Description: KSEG is a Free (GPL) interactive geometry program for exploring Euclidean geometry. It runs on Unix-based platforms (according to users, it also compiles and runs on Mac OS X and should run on anything that Qt supports). You create a construction, such as a triangle with a circumcenter, and then, as you drag verteces of the triangle, you can see the circumcenter moving in real time. Of course, you can do a lot more than thatsee the feature list below.

MPBodyInit('index_files') THE DERIVATION OF PLANE EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY FROM THE REAL NUMBERS FOREWORD TO THE WEB VERSION The manuscript on this site was originally composed on a MacBook using Microsoft Word and MathType5, and then converted to web pages using MathType’s Export to MathPage feature. The “equations” are GIF files accessible by any browser. If your browser supports MathType's MathZoom feature, by clicking an equation the equation increases in size (zooms), which feature is useful for easier viewing of subscripts, superscripts, summation limits, hats, etc. Occasionally you will come across what appears to be a single equation which zooms in two pieces. This is an artifact of the formatting of the original Word document. More than one equation can be zoomed at a time. Click any zoomed equation a second time and it will revert to normal size. Shift-click any zoomed equation and all zoomed equations revert to normal size. If your browser doesn't support MathZoom (Safari does not!), download and use Firefox. As the “equations” are treated as units by your browser, spacing different from that intended during composing can appear on your screen. To minimize such oddities, the author recommends that you adjust your window to the following width, i.e. so that both arrowheads display on the window’s margins:

Space-Time Physics and the Future of Time Travel By Alex MacLellan Human beings have always tried to explain the world around them. They have worked to organize it, to measure it, and to understand it. These efforts at understanding such basic concepts as space and time and light have led to many discoveries. In the last one hundred years many changes have been made to how we understand these concepts. You may not be able to move as quickly and easily through time as the hero of H.G. Well's Time Machine, but scientists have been able to understand how certain variables can affect time - to slow it down and speed it up - leading them to believe that it is possible that time travel may become possible. Before looking at time travel, an understanding of the terms and history are required. Space, time, and light have been studied and the definitions have evolved as research has advanced. Looking at these concepts as they have been explained through history will help us understand what may be possible in the future. Portrait of Euclid Over history many people have come up with many different views about what time is and what space is, and how to understand them. Space was defined be Euclid, a Greek mathematician. He was the creator of geometry in 295 B.C.

Interactive Demonstrations Non-Euclidean Geometry In three dimensions, there are three classes of constant curvature geometries . All are based on the first four of Euclid's postulates , but each uses its own version of the parallel postulate . The "flat" geometry of everyday intuition is called Euclidean geometry (or parabolic geometry ), and the non-Euclidean geometries are called hyperbolic geometry (or Lobachevsky-Bolyai-Gauss geometry ) and elliptic geometry (or Riemannian geometry). Spherical geometry is a non-Euclidean two-dimensional geometry.
