Geometry

Geometry is actually used in ancient Egypt and Babylon around 2000 BC. In order for the Egyptians to build buildings as large as the pyramids, they must be planned before they are actually built, and geometry must be used in these plans. There is evidence that Babylon's movie understands Pythagorean's theorem. The so-called "father" of geometry is a Greek mathematician, Euclid. He wrote "elements", "assumptions and theorems" that paved the way to modern geometry.

In this article, we will first briefly introduce the main branch points of geometry and then describe extensive history processing. For specific branches of geometry, see Euclidean geometry, analytical geometry, projective geometry, differential geometry, non-Euclidean geometry and topology. In some ancient cultures geometric shapes that match the relationships of object length, area and volume have been developed. This geometry compiles about 300 generations based on 10 axioms or assumptions in Euclidian elements where hundreds of theorems are proved by deductive logic. That element is typical of a century-long axiomatic way.

Ancient Greeks practiced centuries experimental geometry like Egypt and Babylonia, which absorbed experimental geometry of both cultures. Then they create the first formal mathematics of every type by organizing the geometry with logical rules. An important geometric book of Euclid (400 BC) The Elements forms the basis for most of the geometric foundation of the school. Descartes has become one of the greatest advances in geometry by linking algebra and geometry. One myth is that when you think about placing a point on a plane with a pair of numbers, he is looking around flying around the ceiling. Perhaps this is related to the fact that he is asleep until 11am everyday. Fermat also found coordinate geometry, but that is the Cartesian version we use today.

Early in the 17th century, geometry achieved two important developments. The first is the analytic geometry created by René Descartes (1596-1650) and Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665), or geometry including coordinates and equations. This is a necessary prerequisite for the development of calculus and the accurate quantitative science of physics. The second geometrical development in this period was a systematic study of projective geometry by Girard Desargues (1591-1661). Projection geometry is geometry without measurement or parallel lines, but the interrelationship of research points
