is based on five main rules‚ or postulates. Differences in these rules are what make new kinds of geometries. There is Euclidean‚ Elliptic‚ and Hyperbolic Geometry. Euclidean geometry is the study of flat space and was invented by Euclid‚ a mathematician from Alexandria‚ in 330 B.C. Euclid described his new ideas and general rules in the book Elements (Bradley 30). The foundation of Euclidean geometry is the concept of a few undefined terms: points‚ lines‚ and planes. In essence‚ a point is an
