Excerpt from Non-Euclidean Geometry
The axioms of Geometry were formerly regarded as laws of thought which an intelligent mind could neither deny nor investigate. Not only were the axioms to which we have been accustomed found to agree with our experience, but it was believed that we could not reason on the supposition that-any of them are not true. It has been Shown, however, that it is possible to take a set of axioms, wholly or in part contradicting those of Euclid, and build up a Geometry as consistent as his.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. In a world of different geometries, this book explores a geometry discovered by Lobachevsky, where lines that don't intersect continually approach each other. Unlike familiar Euclidean geometry, this Hyperbolic Geometry presents a fascinating universe where the sum of a triangle's angles is less than 180 degrees and parallel lines diverge as they extend infinitely. With detailed exploration of its intriguing concepts through propositions, theorems, and analytical methods, the author reveals the unique properties of this non-Euclidean realm. By comparing it with Euclidean and Elliptic Geometries, the book offers a profound insight into the nature of geometry itself.
