Study Notes
Fundamentals of Euclidean Geometry
- Points, lines, angles, and planes are the basic elements of Euclidean geometry
- It deals with the study of properties and relationships of geometric objects, including congruence and similarity of triangles, and properties of quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, and 3D objects
Applications of Geometry
- Architecture: designing buildings and structures
- Engineering: calculating stresses, strains, and loads
- Art: understanding perspective and proportion
- Physics: describing the motion of objects and the universe
- Computer Science: graphics, game development, and geographical information systems
Geometer
- A person who studies and works with geometry
- Geometers use mathematical techniques to solve problems and understand the properties of shapes and spaces
Branch of Mathematics
- Geometry is considered a branch of mathematics, alongside algebra and calculus
Origin of the Word 'Geometry'
- Derived from the Greek words "geo" meaning earth and "metry" meaning measurement
- Originally referred to the measurement of the Earth and its physical features
