Extractions: Euclidean geometry has become a forgotten subject in the midst of modern geometry such as topology and differential geometry. Come learn about this fascinating subject. In this seminar, we will explore some interesting topics connected mainly with triangles and circles (such as the nine point circle, pedal triangles, theorems of Ceva, Morley, and others). Seminar participation will be encouraged but not required.

Extractions: From: http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/Non-Euclidean_geometry.html In about 300 BC Euclid wrote The Elements, a book which was to become one of the most famous books ever written. Euclid stated five postulates on which he based all his theorems: It is clear that the fifth postulate is different from the other four. It did not satisfy Euclid and he tried to avoid its use as long as possible - in fact the first 28 propositions of The Elements are proved without using it. Another comment worth making at this point is that Euclid, and many that were to follow him, assumed that straight lines were infinite. Proclus (410-485) wrote a commentary on The Elements where he comments on attempted proofs to deduce the fifth postulate from the other four, in particular he notes that Ptolemy had produced a false 'proof'. Proclus then goes on to give a false proof of his own. However he did give the following postulate which is equivalent to the fifth postulate.

Extractions: Last revised December 21, 2000 Euclidean/Non-Euclidean Geometry A Source of Ideas for Mathematics Teachers The primary difference has to do with the parallel postulate. In Euclidian geometry, given a line with a point outside (and not on said line), you can draw only one line thru the point which will be parallel to the aforementioned line. Non-Euclidian geometries can allow no parallel lines thru the point or an infinite number of parallel lines. The names are "hyperbolic geometry" and "elliptic geometry". Euclid's presentation of plane geometry is based on a number of theorems that can all be derived from five postulates (axioms) and five common notions. The axioms are: Exactly one straight line can be drawn between any two points. A straight line can be continued indefinitely. With any point as center, a circle with any radius may be described. All right angles are equal. Through a given point outside a given straight line, there passes only one line parallel to the given line; that is, such a line does not intersect the given line.

http://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~wtg10/historyetc.html

Extractions: I intend to write in more detail on this topic. For now, here is a brief summary. The development of non-Euclidean geometry caused a profound revolution, not just in mathematics, but in science and philosophy as well. The philosophical importance of non-Euclidean geometry was that it greatly clarified the relationship between mathematics, science and observation. Before hyperbolic geometry was discovered, it was thought to be completely obvious that Euclidean geometry correctly described physical space, and attempts were even made, by Kant and others, to show that this was necessarily true. Gauss was one of the first to understand that the truth or otherwise of Euclidean geometry was a matter to be determined by experiment, and he even went so far as to measure the angles of the triangle formed by three mountain peaks to see whether they added to 180. (Because of experimental error, the result was inconclusive.) Our present-day understanding of models of axioms, relative consistency and so on can all be traced back to this development, as can the separation of mathematics from science. The scientific importance is that it paved the way for Riemannian geometry, which in turn paved the way for Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. After Gauss, it was still reasonable to think that, although Euclidean geometry was not

The sphere now becomes the model of apprehension about a world that can move beyonsuch coordinates and getting to this realm time was added and in it, changes in position relative too, and we see in such relation how the world on the background of strings, demonstrates such movements. It incoporates the very nature of such movement, and holds within it, the very understanding of maths and physics so far to date, that has allowed such theoretical formulation, to move to the higher dimensional understanding. I would like to see if any would like to expand slowly here, and the Jordan Theorom as described by DickT, is a very important piece of what could have defined such movements topologically. Such truth of the logic, of mathematical orientatation, has been placed at the basis of Descartes ontological causality. Such reductionism, had become the understanding of Einsteins relation with Bohr, that such probing would have move Bohr to consider more deeply the Quantum world?

But this is puzzling! Construct an equilateral triangle on the sphere- and copy the triangle 4 times to form a big triangle, as below: All the small triangles are congruent, equilateral and equiangular. Why doesn't the big one have the same vertex angles as the small ones? Perform this construction on a real ball, using rubber bands to form your lines. (You must turn in the ball.) Tilings. A tiling is a way to cover a space without gaps using identical copies of a single geometrical figure. The equilateral triangle tiles the plane, in a tiling where six triangles meet at each vertex (see below) Find a tiling of the sphere using 20 equilateral triangles where five triangles meet at each vertex. Draw your tiling (using rubber bands for lines) on a real sphere, and turn it in.

These started with some figures to demonstrate the transformations of Inversive Geometry, and progressed to figures for the Arbelos, the inversors of Peucellier and Hart, Coaxial Circles and so on, much of which was driven by the discovery of a Dover edition of a small pearl of a book Advanced Euclidean Geometry (Modern Geometry) An elementary Treatise on the Geometry of the triangle and the Circle (to give its full title) written by Roger A.
