Spherical geometry — is the geometry of the two dimensional surface of a sphere. It is an example of a non Euclidean geometry. Two practical applications of the principles of spherical geometry are navigation and astronomy.In plane geometry the basic concepts are… … Wikipedia
Elliptic geometry — (sometimes known as Riemannian geometry) is a non Euclidean geometry, in which, given a line L and a point p outside L, there exists no line parallel to L passing through p.Elliptic geometry, like hyperbolic geometry, violates Euclid s parallel… … Wikipedia
geometry — /jee om i tree/, n. 1. the branch of mathematics that deals with the deduction of the properties, measurement, and relationships of points, lines, angles, and figures in space from their defining conditions by means of certain assumed properties… … Universalium
Spherical 3-manifold — In mathematics, a spherical 3 manifold M is a 3 manifold of the form M = S3 / Γ where Γ is a finite subgroup of SO(4) acting freely by rotations on the 3 sphere S3. All such manifolds are prime, orientable, and closed. Spherical 3 manifolds are… … Wikipedia
non-Euclidean geometry — geometry based upon one or more postulates that differ from those of Euclid, esp. from the postulate that only one line may be drawn through a given point parallel to a given line. [1870 75; NON + EUCLIDEAN] * * * Any theory of the nature of… … Universalium
History of geometry — Geometry (Greek γεωμετρία ; geo = earth, metria = measure) arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers. Classic geometry… … Wikipedia
Riemannian geometry — Elliptic geometry is also sometimes called Riemannian geometry. Riemannian geometry is the branch of differential geometry that studies Riemannian manifolds, smooth manifolds with a Riemannian metric , i.e. with an inner product on the tangent… … Wikipedia
Differential geometry of surfaces — Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1828 In mathematics, the differential geometry of surfaces deals with smooth surfaces with various additional structures, most often, a Riemannian metric. Surfaces have been extensively studied from various perspectives:… … Wikipedia
