Coordinate Geometry: subsystem of ICES, computer system used to solve civil engineering problems, COGO (Computers)
Euclidean geometry: Study of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids based on Euclid's axioms. Its importance lies less in its results than in the systematic method Euclid used to develop and present them. This axiomatic method has been the model for many systems of rational thought, even outside mathematics, for over 2,000 years. From 10 axioms and postulates, Euclid deduced 465 theorems, or propositions, concerning aspects of plane and solid geometric figures. This work was long held to constitute an accurate description of the physical world and to provide a sufficient basis for understanding it. During the 19th century, rejection of some of Euclid's postulates resulted in two non-Euclidean geometries that proved just as valid and consistent
affine geometry: the geometery of affine transformations
algebraic geometry: Study of geometric objects expressed as equations and represented by graphs in a given coordinate system. In contrast to Euclidean geometry, algebraic geometry represents geometric objects using algebraic equations (e.g., a circle of radius r is defined by x^2 + y^2 = r^2). Objects so defined can then be analyzed for symmetries, intercepts, and other properties without having to refer to a graph
analytic geometry: The idea that graphs and equations are two different ways of expressing the same concepts How lines and curves on a graph can be represented by algebraic equations--and how algebraic equations can be represented by lines and curves on a graph In economics, the use of graphs and diagrams as an alternative to equations and arithmetic for expressing economic relationships In mathematics, the branch of mathematics that relates geometry and algebra Often called 'Cartesian' geometry because much of it was invented by Rene Descartes
analytic geometry: the use of algebra to study geometric properties; operates on symbols defined in a coordinate system
analytic geometry: study of geometric properties by means of algebraic operations, coordinate geometry
analytic geometry: The analysis of geometric structures and properties principally by algebraic operations on variables defined in terms of position coordinates. Investigation of geometric objects using coordinate systems. Because René Descartes was the first to apply algebra to geometry, it is also known as Cartesian geometry. It springs from the idea that any point in two-dimensional space can be represented by two numbers and any point in three-dimensional space by three. Because lines, circles, spheres, and other figures can be thought of as collections of points in space that satisfy certain equations, they can be explored via equations and formulas rather than graphs. Most of analytic geometry deals with the conic sections. Because these are defined using the notion of fixed distance, each section can be represented by a general equation derived from the distance formula
analytic geometry: The analysis of geometric structures and properties, principally using algebraic operations and position coordinates The term also refers to a particular geometric method for describing 3-D solid models
analytic geometry: (n) The analysis of geometric structures and properties, principally using algebraic operations and position coordinates The term also refers to a particular geometric method for describing 3-D solid models
differential geometry: Field of mathematics in which methods of calculus are applied to the local geometry of curves and surfaces (i.e., to a small portion of a surface or curve around a point). A simple example is finding the tangent line on a two-dimensional curve at a given point. Similar operations may be extended to calculate the curvature and length of a curve and to analogous properties of surfaces in any number of dimensions
elementary geometry: only one line can be drawn through a point parallel to another line
elementary geometry: geometry based on Euclid's axioms: e
elliptic geometry: Non-Euclidean geometry that rejects Euclid's fifth postulate (the parallel postulate) and modifies his second postulate. It is also known as Riemannian geometry, after Bernhard Riemann. It asserts that no line passing through a point not on a given line is parallel to that line. It also states that while any straight line of finite length can be extended indefinitely, all straight lines are the same length. Though many of elliptic geometry's theorems are identical to those of Euclidean geometry, others differ (e.g., the angles in a triangle add up to more than 180°). It can most easily be pictured as geometry done on the surface of a sphere where all lines are great circles
elliptic geometry: a non-Euclidean geometry that regards space is like a sphere and a line is a great circle
fractal geometry: the geometry of fractals; "Benoit Mandelbrot pioneered fractal geometry
fractal geometry: In mathematics, the study of complex shapes with the property of self-similarity, known as fractals. Rather like holograms that store the entire image in each part of the image, any part of a fractal can be repeatedly magnified, with each magnification resembling all or part of the original fractal. This phenomenon can be seen in objects like snowflakes and tree bark. The term fractal was coined by Benoit B. Mandelbrot in 1975. This new system of geometry has had a significant impact on such diverse fields as physical chemistry, physiology, and fluid mechanics; fractals can describe irregularly shaped objects or spatially nonuniform phenomena that cannot be described by Euclidean geometry. Fractal simulations have been used to plot the distributions of galactic clusters and to generate lifelike images of complicated, irregular natural objects, including rugged terrains and foliage used in films. See also chaos theory
fractal geometry: the geometry of fractals; "Benoit Mandelbrot pioneered fractal geometry"
geometries: plural of geometry
hyperbolic geometry: a non-Euclidean geometry in which it is assumed that through any point there are two or more parallel lines that do not intersect a given line in the plane
hyperbolic geometry: Non-Euclidean geometry, useful in modeling interstellar space, that rejects the parallel postulate, proposing instead that at least two lines through any point not on a given line are parallel to that line. Though many of its theorems are identical to those of Euclidean geometry, others differ. For example, two parallel lines converge in one direction and diverge in the other, and the angles of a triangle add up to less than 180°
non-Euclidean geometry: Any theory of the nature of geometric space differing from the traditional view held since Euclid's time. These geometries arose in the 19th century when several mathematicians working independently explored the possibility of rejecting Euclid's parallel postulate. Different assumptions about how many lines through a point not on a given line could be parallel to that line resulted in hyperbolic geometry and elliptic geometry. Mathematicians were forced to abandon the idea of a single correct geometry; it became their task not to discover mathematical systems but to create them by selecting consistent axioms and studying the theorems that could be derived from them. The development of these alternative geometries had a profound impact on the notion of space and paved the way for the theory of relativity. See also Nikolay Lobachevsky, Bernhard Riemann
non-euclidean geometry: geometry based on axioms different from Euclid's
plane geometry: The geometry of planar figures. the study of lines, shapes etc that are two-dimensional (=with measurements in only two directions, not three)
plane geometry: the geometry of 2-dimensional figures
plane geometry: field in geometry that deals with one dimensional figures
projective geometry: The study of geometric properties that are invariant under projection. Branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between geometric figures and the images (mappings) of them that result from projection. Examples of projections include motion pictures, maps of the Earth's surface, and shadows cast by objects. One stimulus for the subject's development was the need to understand perspective in drawing and painting. Every point of the projected object and the corresponding point of its image must lie on the projection ray, a line that passes through the centre of projection. Modern projective geometry emphasizes the mathematical properties (such as straightness of lines and points of intersection) preserved in projections despite the distortion of lengths, angles, and shapes
projective geometry: study of geometric properties that are not changed by projection
projective geometry: the geometry of properties that remain invariant under projection
solid geometry: geometry which deals with three-dimensional objects
solid geometry: the geometry of 3-dimensional space
solid geometry: The branch of mathematics that deals with three-dimensional figures and surfaces
spherical geometry: the geometry of figures on the surface of a sphere
spherical geometry: The geometry of circles, angles, and figures on the surface of a sphere
