23. The Triangle Figure Introduction to a Euclidean Model of Hyperbolic Geometry In euclidean geometry we can use translation, rotation, and reflection to make congruent copies http://www.math.clemson.edu/~simms/triangle/hyperbolic.html

Introduction to a Euclidean Model of Hyperbolic Geometry Hyperbolic geometry is the result of replacing the parallel axiom of Euclidean Geometry with the alternative of there being, through a given point, at least two lines parallel to a given line. It's one thing to develop the theorems in such a geometry, but it's another to do constructions a euclidean model where the compass and straight edge may be used would be advantageous. The angle formed by two intersecting h-lines is determined by substituting the tangent to any type-2 h-lines at the point of intersection and measuring the angle as we would between two intersecting e-lines. Here's a Java version of a construction of a circle inversion from the inside of a circle to the outside and vice-versa. I-O circle inversion The point inside the circle may be dragged and the figure adjusts accordingly. O-I circle inversion The point outside the circle may be dragged and the figure adjusts accordingly. Another use for circle inversions is in the fact that a circle passing through both points of a circle inversion pair will be orthogonal to the circle of inversion. So circle inversion may be used to aid in the construction of a type-2 h-line through a given point that is perpendicular to a given type-2 h-line.

25. KSEG KSEG is a Free (GPL) interactive geometry program for exploring euclidean geometry. It runs on Unixbased platforms (according to users, it also compiles http://www.mit.edu/~ibaran/kseg.html

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.

26. Non-Euclidean Geometry Seminar In this course we traced the development of hyperbolic (nonEuclidean) geometry from ancient Greece up to the turn of the century. This was accomplished by http://www.math.columbia.edu/~pinkham/teaching/seminars/NonEuclidean.html

Seminar on the History of Hyperbolic Geometry Greg Schreiber In this course we traced the development of hyperbolic (non-Euclidean) geometry from ancient Greece up to the turn of the century. This was accomplished by focusing chronologically on those mathematicians who made the most significant contributions to the subject. We began with an exposition of Euclidean geometry, first from Euclid's perspective (as given in his Elements) and then from a modern perspective due to Hilbert (in his Foundations of Geometry). Almost all criticisms of Euclid up to the 19th century were centered on his fifth postulate, the so-called Parallel Postulate.The first half of the course dealt with various attempts by ancient, medieval, and (relatively) modern mathematicians to prove this postulate from Euclid's others. Some of the most noteworthy efforts were by the Roman mathematician Proclus, the Islamic mathematicians Omar Khayyam and Nasir al-Din al-Tusi, the Jesuit priest Girolamo Sacchieri, the Englishman John Wallis, and the Frenchmen Lambert and Legendre. Each one gave a flawed proof of the parallel postulate, containing some hidden assumption equivalent to that postulate. In this way properties of hyperbolic geometry were discovered, even though no one believed such a geometry to be possible. References: Four general references were used throughout this course: Bonola's Non-Euclidean Geometry, Jeremy Gray's Ideas of Space, Greenberg's Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries, and McCleary's Geometry from a Differential Viewpoint. In addition, original works of these mathematicians were used whenever possible, as well as biographies of them. These books included Euclid's Elements, Hilbert's Foundations of Geometry, Proclus's A Commentary on the First Book of Euclid's Elements, Saccheri's Euclid Vindicated, Bolyai's Science of Absolute Space, Lobachevskii's Geometrical Researches in the Theory of Parallels, and Riemann's "On the Hypotheses Which Lie at the Foundations of Geometry," among others.

Sites for parents Non-Euclidean Geometries Drama of the Discovery Four names - C. F. Gauss N. Lobachevsky J. Bolyai (1802-1860), and B. Riemann (1826-1866) - are traditionally associated with the discovery of non-Euclidean geometries. In non-Euclidean geometries, the fifth postulate is replaced with one of its negations : through a point not on a line, either there is none (B) or more than 1 (C) line parallel to the given one. Carl Friedrich Gauss was apparently the first to arrive at the conclusion that no contradiction may be obtained this way. In a private letter of 1824 Gauss wrote: The assumption that (in a triangle) the sum of the three angles is less than 180 o leads to a curious geometry, quite different from ours, but thoroughly consistent, which I have developed to my entire satisfaction. From another letter of 1829, it appears that Gauss was hesitant to publish his research because he suspected the mediocre mathematical community would not be able to accept a revolutionary denial of Euclid's geometry. Gauss invented the term "Non-Euclidean Geometry" but never published anything on the subject. On the other hand, he introduced the idea of surface curvature on the basis of which Riemann later developed Differential Geometry that served as a foundation for Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

The Applications Of Non-Euclidean Geometry Table of Contents Where Euclidean Geometry Is Wrong The Theory of General Relativity Spherical Geometry Celestial Mechanics Where Euclidean Geometry Is Wrong Since Euclid first published his book Elements in 300 B.C. it has remained remarkably correct and accurate to real world situations faced on Earth. The one problem that some find with it is that it is not accurate enough to represent the three dimensional universe that we live in. It has been argued that Euclidean Geometry, while good for architecture and to survey land, when it is moved into the third dimension, the postulates do not hold up as well as those of hyperbolical and spherical geometry. Both of those geometries hold up to a two dimensional world, as well as the third dimension. Back To Top Cosmology - Cosmology is the study of the origin, constitution, structure, and evolution of the universe. Back To Top The Theory of General Relativity Einstein's Theory Of General Relativity is based on a theory that space is curved. The cause is explained by the theory itself. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity can be understood as saying that: Matter and energy distort space The distortions of space affect the motions of matter and energy.

See also: Mathematics Computer Modeling Mathematical Modeling Euclid's text Elements was the first systematic discussion of geometry. 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) from those axioms. Although many of Euclid's results had been stated by earlier Greek mathematicians, Euclid was the first to show how these propositions could be fitted together into a comprehensive deductive and logical system..

Euclidean Geometry Tutorial This tutorial covers the Geometry in Euclid's Elements Euclid 's famous text was "the" book for the study of Geometry until the 19th century. It has been studied by a host of intellectual greats. His systematic approach to Geometry is not a only a tremendous study in how to think and reason, but it became the paradigm that later philosophers would attempt to follow in setting up their own systems of thought. There is really no other mathematical text that rivals its impact on intellectual history. This tutorial is highly recommended not only for its tremendous historical value, but also as a fine addition to the Geometry-starved Saxon program. The only fault I see with the Saxon programs is its meager treatment of Geometric proofs. Along with Saxon, most modern math texts are downplaying Geometric proofs because they are teaching to the SAT and it does not require proofs. But after going through the magnificent proofs of Euclid , you will see why his work is truly a mathematical classic.

SPACE AND TIME GRAVITATIONAL PHYSICS MATHEMATICS A ... CONTACT entire Web this site non-Euclidean geometry Any geometry in which Euclid's fifth postulate, the so-called parallel postulate , doesn't hold. (One way to say the parallel postulate is: Given a straight line and a point A not on that line, there is only one exactly straight line through A that never intersects the original line.) The two most important types of non-Euclidean geometry are hyperbolic geometry and elliptical geometry . The different models of non-Euclidean geometry can have positive or negative curvature . The sign of curvature of a surface is indicated by drawing a straight line on the surface and then drawing another straight line perpendicular to it: both these lines are geodesics . If the two lines curve in the same direction, the surface has a positive curvature; if they curve in opposite directions, the surface has negative curvature. Elliptical (and spherical) geometry has positive curvature whereas hyperbolic geometry has negative curvature. The discovery of non-Euclidean geometry had immense consequences. For more than 2,000 years, people had thought that

38. What Is Non-Euclidean Geometry? An introduction to the history and mathematics of nonEuclidean geometries. http://njnj.essortment.com/noneuclideange_risc.htm

What is non-Euclidean geometry? An introduction to the history and mathematics of non-Euclidean geometries. Euclid's geometrical thesis, "The Elements" (c. 300 B.C.E), proposed five basic postulates of geometry. Of these postulates, all were considered self-evident except for the fifth postulate. The fifth postulate asserted that two lines are parallel (i.e. non-intersecting) if a third line can intersect both lines perpendicularly. Consequently, in a Euclidean geometry every point has one and only one line parallel to any given line. For centuries people questioned Euclid's fifth postulate. Even Euclid seemed suspicious of the fifth postulate because he avoided solving problems with it until his 29th example. Mathematicians stumbled with ways to prove the validity of the fifth postulate from the first four postulates, which we now call the postulates of absolute geometry. Those mathematicians who didn't fail were soon seen to have fallacious errors in their reasoning. These errors usually occurred because a mathematician had made self-fulfilling assumptions pertaining to parallel lines, rather than working with the other postulates. Essentially, they were forcing a result through the application of faulty logic. Though many mathematicians questioned Euclidean geometry, Euclidean thought prevailed through school mathematical programs. "The Elements" became the most widely purchased non-religious work in the world, and it still remains the most widely received of mathematical texts. Furthermore, mathematical inquiries into the nature of non-Euclidean geometries were often devalued as frivolous. The philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) called Euclid's geometry, "the inevitable necessity of thought." Such philosophical opinions impeded mathematical progress in the field of geometry. Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855), who began studying non-Euclidean geometries at the age of 15, never published any of his non-Euclidean works because he knew the mathematical precedent was against him.
