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 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 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 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 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.

Hyperbolic Geometry
One of the most common families of non-Euclidean geometry is hyperbolic geometry - a self-consistent geometry of "obtuse" curvature.

Euclidean v Non-Euclidean Geometry
While most people are far more familiar with the basic principles of Euclidean geometry, scientists have come to discover that the shape of our universe is non-Euclidean.

Computer-Assisted Proofs
Much of mathematics, both theoretical and practical, has been built up throughout the centuries in the language of proofs - formal statements of mathematical reasoning.
