Geometry (Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth"‚ -metron "measurement") is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape‚ size‚ relative position of figures‚ and the properties of space. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer. Geometry arose independently in a number of early cultures as a body of practical knowledge concerning lengths‚ areas‚ and volumes‚ with elements of a formal mathematical science emerging in the West as early as Thales (6th Century

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 Ivanovich Labachevsky. Later on‚ Eugenio Beltrami developed models of it and used these to prove that hyperbolic geometry is consistent if Euclidean geometry is. Hyperbolic geometry is a form of non-Euclidean geometry. It upholds all of Euclid’s
