Models of non Euclideangeometry are mathematical model s of geometries in which are non Euclideangeometry non Euclidean in the sense that it is not the case that exactly one line can be drawn parallel lines parallel to a given line l through a point that is not on l . In hyperbolic geometric models, by contrast, there are infinity infinitely many lines through A parallel to l , and in elliptic geometric models, parallel lines do not exist. See the entries on hyperbolic geometry and elliptic geometry for more information. Euclideangeometry is modelled by our notion of a flat plane mathematics plane . The simplest model for elliptic geometry is a sphere, where lines are great circle s such as the equator or the meridian geography meridian s on a globe , and points opposite each other are identified considered to be the same . The pseudosphere has the appropriate curvature to model hyperbolic geometry. See also Projective geometry Spherical geometry Taxicab geometry Riemannian geometry References Ian Stewart. Flatterland .

Thus, unlike with Euclideangeometry, there is not one single elliptic ... of antipodal points, the model satisfies Euclid s Euclideangeometry Axiomatic treatment first postulate ... of expressing the distinction between one model and another. Comparison with Euclideangeometry In Euclideangeometry, a figure can be scaled up or scaled down indefinitely, and the resulting figures ..., the space is approximately flat, geometry is approximately Euclidean, and figures can be scaled up and down while remaining approximately similar. A great deal of Euclideangeometry carries over directly .... Therefore any result in Euclideangeometry that follows from these three postulates will hold in elliptic ... is also like Euclideangeometry in that space is continuous, homogeneous, isotropic, and without ... elliptic geometry differs from Euclideangeometry is that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle ... in Euclideangeometry. In general, area and volume do not scale as the second and third powers of linear ... subspace of a Euclidean space, it follows that if Euclideangeometry is self consistent, so is spherical ... four postulates of Euclideangeometry. Tarski proved that elementary Euclideangeometry is complete ... theorems G del s theorem , because Euclideangeometry cannot describe a sufficient amount of Peano ... Non Euclideangeometry ar ca Geometria el l ptica de Elliptische Geometrie es ... p . In elliptic geometry, there are no parallel lines at all. Elliptic geometry has a variety of properties that differ from those of classical Euclidean plane geometry. For example, the sum of the angle s of any triangle is always greater than 180 . Types of elliptic geometry The two main types ... more details
