Theorems of Girolamo Saccheri, S.J. and his hyperbolic geometry A Sample of Saccheri's Contribution to the evolution of Non-Euclidean geometry More can be read concerning Saccheri's contribution to non-Euclidean geometry by viewing Saccheri's Solution to Euclid's BLEMISH The Origins of Non-Euclidean Geometry The two branches of non-Euclidean geometry are associated with Nicolai Lobachevsky and Bernhard Riemann A sample of Saccheri's non-Euclidean geometry By use of similar triangles and congruent parts of similar triangles on the Saccheri quadrilateral, ABDC with AC = BD and A = B = p /2, he establishes his first 32 theorems. Most are too complicated to be treated in a short paper, but here some examples are merely stated, some are illustrated and some are proven. For those proofs which are brief enough to show here, the main steps are indicated and the reader is invited to fill in the missing details of the argument. A century after Saccheri, the geometers, Lobachevsky, Bolyai and Gauss would realize that, by substituting the acute case or the obtuse case for Euclid's postulate Number V, they could create two consistent geometries. In doing so they built on the progress made by Saccheri who had already proven so many of the needed theorems. They were able to create what we recognize today as the "elliptical" and "hyperbolic" non-Euclidean geometries. Most of Saccheri's first 32 theorems can be found in today's non-Euclidean textbooks. Saccheri's theorems are prefaced by " Sac.

Axioms and Theorems 5.1 Euclid's Axioms In addition to the great practical value of Euclidean Geometry, the ancient Greeks also found great esthetic value in the study of geometry. Much as children assemble a few kinds blocks into many varied towers, mathematicians assemble a few definitions and assumptions into many varied theorems. The blocks are assembled with Hands, the axioms are assembled with Reason. All of Euclidean Geometry (the thousands of theorems) were all put together with a few different kinds of blocks. These are called "Euclid's five axioms": A-1 Every two points lie on exactly one line. A-2 Any line segment with given endpoints may be continued in either direction. A-3 It is possible to construct a circle with any point as its center and with a radius of any length. (This implies that there is neither an upper nor lower limit to distance. In-other-words, any distance, no mater how large can always be increased, and any distance, no mater how small can always be divided.) A-4 If two lines cross such that a pair of adjacent angles are congruent, then each of these angles are also congruent to any other angle formed in the same way.
