Geometry Essentials Quiz

The Theorema Egregium, proposed by Carl Friedrich Gauss, asserts that the Gaussian curvature of a surface is independent of any specific embedding in a Euclidean space. This was a remarkable discovery that significantly expanded the scope of geometry.

The fundamental concepts of Euclidean geometry include point, line, plane, distance, angle, surface, and curve.

During the 19th century, several discoveries enlarged the scope of geometry, including Carl Friedrich Gauss' Theorema Egregium and other significant advancements.
