segment PQ: In Euclidean geometry the perpendicular distance between the rays remains equal to the distance from P to Q as we move to the right. However‚ in the early nineteenth century two alternative geometries were proposed. In hyperbolic geometry (from the Greek hyperballein‚ "to exceed") the distance between the rays increases. In elliptic geometry (from the Greek elleipein‚ "to fall short") the distance decreases and the rays eventually meet. These non-Euclidean geometries were later incorporated

C OORDINATE GEOMETRY COORDINATE GEOMETRY 155 7 7.1 Introduction In Class IX‚ you have studied that to locate the position of a point on a plane‚ we require a pair of coordinate axes. The distance of a point from the y-axis is called its x-coordinate‚ or abscissa. The distance of a point from the x-axis is called its y-coordinate‚ or ordinate. The coordinates of a point on the x-axis are of the form (x‚ 0)‚ and of a point on the y-axis are of the form (0‚ y). Here is a play for you. Draw a set

EUCLID: The Man Who Created a Math Class Euclid of Alexandria was born in about 325 BC. He is the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his dissertation on mathematics. He was able to create "The Elements" which included the composition of many other famous mathematicians together. He began exploring math because he felt that he needed to compile certain things and fix certain postulates and theorems. His book included‚ many of Eudoxus’ theorems‚ he perfected many of Theaetetus’s

Aaron Griffin Math 4091A March 17‚ 2015 The Cartesian Coordinate System Linear inequalities (statements such as “4≤X+10<18”) can be represented graphically along a number line. In similar manner‚ a linear equation in two variables (this being the form ax+by=c) can also be represented graphically‚ using two axes; the x axis‚ the horizontal plane‚ and the y axis‚ the vertical plane. There are memory tricks with which to distinguish the x from the y axis and remember their horizontal and vertical

Homogeneous Coordinates and Matrix Representation Homogeneous Coordinates Homogenous coordinates utilize a mathematical trick to embed three-dimensional coordinates and transformations into a four-dimensional matrix format. As a result‚ inversions or combinations of linear transformations are simplified to inversion or multiplication of the corresponding matrices. Homogenous coordinates also make it possible to define perspective transformations. Homogenous coordinates allow each point

Module one- Lesson 01.01 The terms point‚ line‚ and plane are referred to as undefined. When you write the definition of these terms‚ you have to rely on other terms that need defining. Point- In general‚ a point is a location. Because points have no size‚ you can say they have no dimension. Line- a "stream" of points that has no width or depth. You can also think of a line as points lined up next to each other that go on forever in opposite directions. Because you can measure the distance

Geometry is simply the study of space. There are Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries. Euclidean geometry is the most common and is the basis for other Non-Euclidean types of geometry. Euclidean geometry 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

HYPERBOLIC GEOMETRY AND OMEGA TRIANGLES Hyperbolic geometry was first discovered and explored by Omar Khayyam in the 9th century and Giovanni Gerolamo Saccheri in the 15th century. Both were attempting to prove Euclid’s parallel postulate by proving the concept of hyperbolic geometry to be inconsistent‚ and ironically they discovered it to be a new type of geometry. It wasn’t until the 19th century that it became fully developed with help from Karl Friedrich Gauss‚ Janos Bolyai‚ and Nikolai
