Prereq: Familiarity with high school geometry
Euclidean geometry has become a forgotten subject in the midst of modern geometry such as topology and differential geometry. Come learn about this fascinating subject. In this seminar, we will explore some interesting topics connected mainly with triangles and circles (such as the nine point circle, pedal triangles, theorems of Ceva, Morley, and others). Seminar participation will be encouraged but not required.

Non-Euclidean geometry
Article by: J J O'Connor and E F Robertson
From: http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/Non-Euclidean_geometry.html In about 300 BC Euclid wrote The Elements, a book which was to become one of the most famous books ever written. Euclid stated five postulates on which he based all his theorems:
  • To draw a straight line from any point to any other. To produce a finite straight line continuously in a straight line. To describe a circle with any centre and distance. That all right angles are equal to each other. That, if a straight line falling on two straight lines make the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.
It is clear that the fifth postulate is different from the other four. It did not satisfy Euclid and he tried to avoid its use as long as possible - in fact the first 28 propositions of The Elements are proved without using it. Another comment worth making at this point is that Euclid, and many that were to follow him, assumed that straight lines were infinite.
Proclus (410-485) wrote a commentary on The Elements where he comments on attempted proofs to deduce the fifth postulate from the other four, in particular he notes that Ptolemy had produced a false 'proof'. Proclus then goes on to give a false proof of his own. However he did give the following postulate which is equivalent to the fifth postulate.

Introduction
The primary difference has to do with the parallel postulate. In Euclidian geometry, given a line with a point outside (and not on said line), you can draw only one line thru the point which will be parallel to the aforementioned line. Non-Euclidian geometries can allow no parallel lines thru the point or an infinite number of parallel lines. The names are "hyperbolic geometry" and "elliptic geometry".
Euclidean Geometry
Euclid's presentation of plane geometry is based on a number of theorems that can all be derived from five postulates (axioms) and five common notions. The axioms are:
  • Exactly one straight line can be drawn between any two points.
  • A straight line can be continued indefinitely.
  • With any point as center, a circle with any radius may be described.
  • All right angles are equal.
  • Through a given point outside a given straight line, there passes only one line parallel to the given line; that is, such a line does not intersect the given line.

    Instructor: Yael Karshon , math building room 314, Tel. 6584123, karshon@math.huji.ac.il , Office hours: by appointment. Course meetings: Sundays 10:00-11:45, Shprintzak 114 Grading: Student presentations, participation, and problem sets. Student presentations: Every two students will prepare a topic together and will present it in one course meeting. Problem sets will be given on most weeks. On the following week you are to hand in your written solution and be ready to discuss it in class. You are encouraged to collaborate; however, you must write up the answers by yourself. Goal: The seminar provides an informal "hands-on" introduction to geometry, with emphasis on the Euclidean plane, the sphere, and the hyperbolic plane. Main source: David W. Henderson, Experiencing Geometry in Euclidean, Spherical, and Hyperbolic Spaces , Second Edition. Syllabus: We aim to cover Polking's "Geometry of the Sphere" , and most of chapters 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14, 15, and 16 of Henderson's book. However, this plan is flexible.

    Non-Euclidean Geometry ->Topological Formation
    Follow Ups Post Followup Geometry III FAQ Posted by sol on December 14, 2002 at 10:30:56: At the Heart of Science The very idea that Non Euclidean geometry could expressed different values in what could have been determined of the triangle, on the sphere, has move perception beyond what is currently understood, and paved the way for movement in the topological understandings. The sphere now becomes the model of apprehension about a world that can move beyonsuch coordinates and getting to this realm time was added and in it, changes in position relative too, and we see in such relation how the world on the background of strings, demonstrates such movements. It incoporates the very nature of such movement, and holds within it, the very understanding of maths and physics so far to date, that has allowed such theoretical formulation, to move to the higher dimensional understanding. I would like to see if any would like to expand slowly here, and the Jordan Theorom as described by DickT, is a very important piece of what could have defined such movements topologically. Such truth of the logic, of mathematical orientatation, has been placed at the basis of Descartes ontological causality. Such reductionism, had become the understanding of Einsteins relation with Bohr, that such probing would have move Bohr to consider more deeply the Quantum world?

  • We have proved in class that there are no similar triangles on the sphere which are not congruent. But this is puzzling! Construct an equilateral triangle on the sphere- and copy the triangle 4 times to form a big triangle, as below: All the small triangles are congruent, equilateral and equiangular. Why doesn't the big one have the same vertex angles as the small ones? Perform this construction on a real ball, using rubber bands to form your lines. (You must turn in the ball.)
  • Tilings. A tiling is a way to cover a space without gaps using identical copies of a single geometrical figure. The equilateral triangle tiles the plane, in a tiling where six triangles meet at each vertex (see below) Find a tiling of the sphere using 20 equilateral triangles where five triangles meet at each vertex. Draw your tiling (using rubber bands for lines) on a real sphere, and turn it in.
  • Read Riemann's "On the Foundations underlying the study of space" and write a 5-10 page essay on the philosophical implications of non-Euclidean geometry. Can we tell what the geometry of our universe is? Does it matter?
  • Write a 5-10 page paper on historical figures who attempted to prove the 5th postulate, and their (failed) proofs. Some mathematicians to include might be Proclus, John Wallis, Johann Lambert, Saccheri, Playfair, Legendre, al-Tusi, and Khayyam. Look at Jeremy Gray's book

Response #: 1 of 1 Author: hawley Here is something to get you started: draw a triangle on the surface of a sphere. Show that the sum of the interior angles is now NEVER equal to 180 but is, in fact, 180 < sum <= 540 depending on the relative sizes of the sphere and the triangle. The surface of a sphere is a simple example of a non-Euclidean, two-dimensional space, that is easy to visualize. Things get more difficult with higher-dimensional spaces!

    Villard de Honnecourt and Euclidean Geometry
    Rue des Caves
    INTRODUCTION
    I
    n Antiquity, within the Mediterranean basin, and in the West during the Middle Ages, scholars considered mechanics as one of the more noble of human activities, placing it at the confluent of ideal mathematics and the three-dimensional physics of the terrestrial world. From these periods, we have inherited two monumental works of an encyclopedic character that each unite knowledge of built structures, of machines and of nature: namely, the text by the Roman architect, Vitruvius (written c. 33/22 BC), and a manuscript by Villard de Honnecourt, a Picard (a region now situated in northern France), written some 1250 years later. Whereas the mathematical content in Vitruvius' work is relatively easy to discern - because it is explicit in the text - the collection of Villard is much more difficult to understand, consisting essentially of drawings which remain obscure except to those initiated in the same oral tradition prevalent during the thirteenth century. And yet these drawings can be cracked when studied within the larger context of applied mathematics - the practical geometry - from between the first and seventeenth centuries. One perceives, not surprisingly, that the basic geometric knowledge of the medieval architect derives ultimately from the Elements of Euclid.
