A non-Euclidean geometry is characterized by a non-vanishing Riemann curvature tensor it is the study of shapes and constructions that do not map directly to any n-dimensional Euclidean system. Examples of non-Euclidean geometries include the hyperbolic and elliptic geometry, which are contrasted with a Euclidean geometry. The essential difference between Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry is the nature of parallel lines. Euclid's fifth postulate, the parallel postulate, is equivalent to Playfair's postulate, which states that, within a two-dimensional plane, for any given line and a point…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
A non-Euclidean geometry is characterized by a non-vanishing Riemann curvature tensor it is the study of shapes and constructions that do not map directly to any n-dimensional Euclidean system. Examples of non-Euclidean geometries include the hyperbolic and elliptic geometry, which are contrasted with a Euclidean geometry. The essential difference between Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry is the nature of parallel lines. Euclid's fifth postulate, the parallel postulate, is equivalent to Playfair's postulate, which states that, within a two-dimensional plane, for any given line and a point A, which is not on , there is exactly one line through A that does not intersect . In hyperbolic geometry, by contrast, there are infinitely many lines through A not intersecting , while in elliptic geometry, any line through A intersects (see the entries on hyperbolic geometry, elliptic geometry, and absolute geometry for more information).
