Euclid's Fifth Axiom Very few seemingly incontrovertible mathematical statements throughout history have wreaked quite as much havoc as Euclid's controversial fifth axiom. euclid's fifth axiom • the parallel postulate • non-euclidean geometry • proving euclid's fifth axiom • karl friedrich gauss
Euclid's First Axiom Euclid's first axiom, concerning points and straight lines, contains hidden depth that one might miss upon a cursory glance, and which is important to his geometry. euclid's axioms • euclid's first axiom • ancient greek mathematicians • history of geometry • euclidean geometry
Euclid's Fourth Axiom Euclid's fourth axiom, like all the others, is clearly a very simple assertion. It is how Euclid ingeniously utilizes these axioms, however, that holds importance. euclid's fourth axiom • euclid's elements • euclid of alexandria • right angle congruence proof • geometrical definitions
Euclid's Second Axiom On the second of five axioms upon which was built the foundations of geometry, Euclid further explores the nature of straight lines. euclid's second axiom • five axioms • euclid's elements • history of geometry • properties of a line
Euclid's Third Axiom Euclid's third axiom describes how a simple circle, one of the most important figures in geometry, can be constructed using only a point and a line. euclid's third axiom • definition of a circle • euclidean geometry • history of geometry • history of mathematics
Hyperbolic Geometry One of the most common families of non-Euclidean geometry is hyperbolic geometry - a self-consistent geometry of "obtuse" curvature. hyperbolic geometry • saddle-shape geometry • hyperparallelism • euclidean geometry • non euclidean geometry |
