{{General geometry}}
In [[mathematics]], '''non-Euclidean geometry''' consists of two geometries based on [[axiom]]s closely related to those specifying [[Euclidean geometry]]. As Euclidean geometry lies at the intersection of [[metric geometry]] and [[affine geometry]], non-Euclidean geometry arises when either the metric requirement is relaxed, or the [[parallel postulate]] is set aside. In the latter case one obtains [[hyperbolic geometry]] and [[elliptic geometry]], the traditional non-Euclidean geometries. When the metric requirement is relaxed, then there are affine planes associated with the [[#Planar algebras|planar algebras]] which give rise to [[#Kinematic geometries|kinematic geometries]] that have also been called non-Euclidean geometry.

The essential difference between the metric geometries is the nature of [[Parallel (geometry)|parallel]] lines. [[Euclid]]'s fifth postulate, the [[parallel postulate]], is equivalent to [[Playfair's Postulate|Playfair's postulate]], which states that, within a two-dimensional plane, for any given line  ''ℓ'' and a point ''A'', which is not on ''ℓ'', there is exactly one line through ''A'' that does not intersect ''ℓ''. In hyperbolic geometry, by contrast, there are [[Infinite set|infinitely]] many lines through ''A'' not intersecting ''ℓ'', while in elliptic geometry, any line through ''A'' intersects '''' (see the entries on [[hyperbolic geometry]], [[elliptic geometry]], and [[absolute geometry]] for more information).

Another way to describe the differences between these geometries is to consider two straight lines indefinitely extended in a two-dimensional plane that are both [[perpendicular]] to a third line:
*In Euclidean geometry the lines remain at a constant [[distance]] from each other even if extended to infinity, and are known as parallels.
*In hyperbolic geometry they "curve away" from each other, increasing in distance as one moves further from the points of intersection with the common perpendicular; these lines are often called ultraparallels.
*In elliptic geometry the lines "curve toward" each other and intersect.
 
==History==<!-- This section is linked from [[Parallel postulate]] -->
 
===Early history===
While [[Euclidean geometry]], named after the [[Greek mathematics|Greek mathematician]] [[Euclid]], includes some of the oldest known mathematics, non-Euclidean geometries were not widely accepted as legitimate until the 19th century.
 
The debate that eventually led to the discovery of the non-Euclidean geometries began almost as soon as Euclid's work ''[[Euclid's Elements|Elements]]'' was written. In the ''Elements'', Euclid began with a limited number of assumptions (23 definitions, five common notions, and five postulates) and sought to prove all the other results ([[proposition]]s) in the work. The most notorious of the postulates is often referred to as "Euclid's Fifth Postulate," or simply the "[[parallel postulate]]", which in Euclid's original formulation is:
 
<blockquote>If a straight line falls on two straight lines in such a manner that the interior angles on the same side are together less than two right angles, then the straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.</blockquote>
 
Other mathematicians have devised simpler forms of this property (see ''[[parallel postulate]]'' for equivalent statements). Regardless of the form of the postulate, however, it consistently appears to be more complicated than Euclid's other postulates (which include, for example, "Between any two points a straight line may be drawn").
 
For at least a thousand years, [[geometer]]s were troubled by the disparate complexity of the fifth postulate, and believed it could be proved as a theorem from the other four. Many attempted to find a [[proof by contradiction]], including [[Persian people|Persian]] mathematicians [[Ibn al-Haytham]] (Alhazen, 11th century),<ref>{{Citation |last=Eder |first=Michelle |year=2000 |title=Views of Euclid's Parallel Postulate in Ancient Greece and in Medieval Islam |url=http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~cherlin/History/Papers2000/eder.html |publisher=[[Rutgers University]] |accessdate=2008-01-23 }}</ref> [[Omar Khayyám]] (12th century) and [[Nasīr al-Dīn al-Tūsī]] (13th century), and the [[Italy|Italian]] mathematician [[Giovanni Girolamo Saccheri]] (18th century).
 
The theorems of Ibn al-Haytham, Khayyam and al-Tusi on [[quadrilateral]]s, including the [[Lambert quadrilateral]] and [[Saccheri quadrilateral]], were "the first few theorems of the [[Hyperbolic geometry|hyperbolic]] and the [[Elliptical geometry|elliptic geometries]]." These theorems along with their alternative postulates, such as [[Playfair's axiom]], played an important role in the later development of non-Euclidean geometry.  These early attempts at challenging the fifth postulate had a considerable influence on its development among later European geometers, including [[Witelo]], [[Levi ben Gerson]], [[Alfonso]], [[John Wallis]] and Saccheri.<ref>Boris A. Rosenfeld & Adolf P. Youschkevitch, "Geometry", p. 470, in Roshdi Rashed & Régis Morelon (1996), ''[[Encyclopedia of the History of Arabic Science]]'', Vol. 2, pp. 447&ndash;494, [[Routledge]], London and New York: {{quote|"Three scientists, Ibn al-Haytham, Khayyam and al-Tusi, had made the most considerable contribution to this branch of geometry whose importance came to be completely recognized only in the nineteenth century. In essence their propositions concerning the properties of quadrangles which they considered assuming that some of the angles of these figures were acute of obtuse, embodied the first few theorems of the hyperbolic and the elliptic geometries. Their other proposals showed that various geometric statements were equivalent to the Euclidean postulate V. It is extremely important that these scholars established the mutual connection between this postulate and the sum of the angles of a triangle and a quadrangle. By their works on the theory of parallel lines Arab mathematicians directly influenced the relevant investigations of their European counterparts. The first European attempt to prove the postulate on parallel lines &ndash; made by [[Witelo]], the Polish scientists of the thirteenth century, while revising [[Ibn al-Haytham]]'s ''[[Book of Optics]]'' (''Kitab al-Manazir'') &ndash; was undoubtedly prompted by Arabic sources. The proofs put forward in the fourteenth century by the Jewish scholar [[Levi ben Gerson]], who lived in southern France, and by the above-mentioned Alfonso from Spain directly border on Ibn al-Haytham's demonstration. Above, we have demonstrated that ''Pseudo-Tusi's Exposition of Euclid'' had stimulated borth J. Wallis's and G. [[Saccheri]]'s studies of the theory of parallel lines."}}</ref>  All of these early attempts made at trying to formulate non-Euclidean geometry however provided flawed proofs of the parallel postulate, containing assumptions that were essentially equivalent to the parallel postulate.  These early attempts did, however, provide some early properties of the hyperbolic and elliptic geometries.
 
Khayyam, for example, tried to derive it from an equivalent postulate he formulated from "the principles of the Philosopher" ([[Aristotle]]): "''Two convergent straight lines intersect and it is impossible for two convergent straight lines to diverge in the direction in which they converge.''"<ref>Boris A. Rosenfeld & Adolf P. Youschkevitch (1996), "Geometry", p. 467, in Roshdi Rashed & Régis Morelon (1996), ''[[Encyclopedia of the History of Arabic Science]]'', Vol. 2, pp. 447&ndash;494, [[Routledge]], ISBN 0-415-12411-5</ref> Khayyam then considered the three cases right, obtuse, and acute that the summit angles of a Saccheri quadrilateral can take and after proving a number of theorems about them, he correctly refuted the obtuse and acute cases based on his postulate and hence derived the classic postulate of Euclid which he didn't realize was equivalent to his own postulate. Another example is al-Tusi's son, Sadr al-Din (sometimes known as "Pseudo-Tusi"), who wrote a book on the subject in 1298, based on al-Tusi's later thoughts, which presented another hypothesis equivalent to the parallel postulate. "He essentially revised both the Euclidean system of axioms and postulates and the proofs of many propositions from the ''Elements''."<ref name=Katz/><ref>Boris A. Rosenfeld and Adolf P.

It was independent of the Euclidean postulate V and easy to prove. [...] He essentially revised both the Euclidean system of axioms and postulates and the proofs of many propositions from the ''Elements''."}}</ref> His work was published in [[Rome]] in 1594 and was studied by European geometers, including Saccheri<ref name=Katz>Victor J.

In particular, it became the starting point for the work of Saccheri and ultimately for the discovery of non-Euclidean geometry."<blockquote></ref> who criticised this work as well as that of Wallis.<ref>[http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Saccheri.html MacTutor's Giovanni Girolamo Saccheri]</ref>
 
[[Giordano Vitale]], in his book ''Euclide restituo'' (1680, 1686), used the Saccheri quadrilateral to prove that if three points are equidistant on the base AB and the summit CD, then AB and CD are everywhere equidistant.
 
In a work titled ''Euclides ab Omni Naevo Vindicatus'' (''Euclid Freed from All Flaws''), published in 1733, Saccheri quickly discarded elliptic geometry as a possibility (some others of Euclid's axioms must be modified for elliptic geometry to work) and set to work proving a great number of results in hyperbolic geometry.  
He finally reached a point where he believed that his results demonstrated the impossibility of hyperbolic geometry. His claim seems to have been based on Euclidean presuppositions, because no ''logical'' contradiction was present. In this attempt to prove Euclidean geometry he instead unintentionally discovered a new viable geometry, but did not realize it.
 
In 1766 [[Johann Heinrich Lambert|Johann Lambert]] wrote, but did not publish, ''Theorie der Parallellinien'' in which he attempted, as Saccheri did, to prove the fifth postulate. He worked with a figure that today we call a ''Lambert quadrilateral'', a quadrilateral with three right angles (can be considered half of a Saccheri quadrilateral). He quickly eliminated the possibility that the fourth angle is obtuse, as had Saccheri and Khayyam, and then proceeded to prove many theorems under the assumption of an acute angle. Unlike Saccheri, he never felt that he had reached a contradiction with this assumption. He had proved the non-Euclidean result that the sum of the angles in a triangle increases as the area of the triangle decreases, and this led him to speculate on the possibility of a model of the acute case on a sphere of imaginary radius. He did not carry this idea any further.<ref>{{cite web|last1=O'Connor|first1=J.J.| last2=Robertson |first2=E.F|title=Johann Heinrich Lambert|url=http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Lambert.html|accessdate=16 September 2011}}</ref>
 
At this time it was widely believed that the universe worked according to the principles of Euclidean geometry.<ref>A notable exception is David Hume, who as early as 1739 seriously entertained the possibility that our universe was non-Euclidean; see David Hume (1739/1978) ''A Treatise of Human Nature'', L.A. Selby-Bigge, ed. (Oxford: Oxford University Press), pp. 51-52.</ref>
 
===Creation of non-Euclidean geometry===
 
The beginning of the 19th century would finally witness decisive steps in the creation of non-Euclidean geometry.
Circa 1813, [[Carl Friedrich Gauss]] and independently around 1818, the German professor of law [[Ferdinand Karl Schweikart]]<ref>In a letter of December 1818, Ferdinand Karl Schweikart (1780-1859) sketched a few insights into non-Euclidean geometry.  The letter was forwarded to Gauss in 1819 by Gauss's former student Gerling.  In his reply to Gerling, Gauss praised Schweikart and mentioned his own, earlier research into non-Euclidean geometry.  See:
*  Carl Friedrich Gauss, ''Werke'' (Leipzig, Germany: B. G. Teubner, 1900), volume 8, [http://gdz.sub.uni-goettingen.de/dms/load/img/?PPN=PPN236010751&DMDID=DMDLOG_0058&LOGID=LOG_0058&PHYSID=PHYS_0187 pages 180-182.]
*  English translations of Schweikart's letter and Gauss's reply to Gerling appear in:  [http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~snburris/htdocs/noneucl.pdf Course notes:  "Gauss and non-Euclidean geometry", University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada]; see especially pages 10 and 11.
*  Letters by Schweikart and the writings of his nephew Franz Adolph Taurinus (1794-1874), who also was interested in non-Euclidean geometry and who in 1825 published a brief book on the parallel axiom, appear in:  Paul Stäckel and Freidrich Engel, ''Die theorie der Parallellinien von Euklid bis auf Gauss, eine Urkundensammlung der nichteuklidischen Geometrie'' (The theory of parallel lines from Euclid to Gauss, an archive of non-Euclidean geometry), (Leipzig, Germany:  B. G. Teubner, 1895), [http://quod.lib.umich.edu/u/umhistmath/abq9565.0001.001/254?rgn=full+text;view=pdf pages 243 ff.]</ref> had the germinal ideas of non-Euclidean geometry worked out, but neither published any results. Then, around 1830, the [[Hungary|Hungarian]] mathematician [[János Bolyai]] and the [[Russia]]n mathematician [[Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky]] separately published treatises on hyperbolic geometry.  Consequently, hyperbolic geometry is called Bolyai-Lobachevskian geometry, as both mathematicians, independent of each other, are the basic authors of non-Euclidean geometry. [[Carl Friedrich Gauss|Gauss]] mentioned to Bolyai's father, when shown the younger Bolyai's work, that he had developed such a geometry several years before,<ref>In the letter to Wolfgang (Farkas) Bolyai of March 6, 1832 Gauss claims to have worked on the problem for thirty or thirty-five years {{harv|Faber|1983|loc=pg. 162}}. In his 1824 letter to Taurinus {{harv|Faber|1983|loc=pg. 158}} he claimed that he had been working on the problem for over 30 years and provided enough detail to show that he actually had worked out the details. According to {{harvtxt|Faber|1983|loc=pg. 156}} it wasn't until around 1813 that Gauss had come to accept the existence of a new geometry.</ref> though he did not publish. While Lobachevsky created a non-Euclidean geometry by negating the parallel postulate, Bolyai worked out a geometry where both the Euclidean and the hyperbolic geometry are possible depending on a parameter k. Bolyai ends his work by mentioning that it is not possible to decide through mathematical reasoning alone if the geometry of the physical universe is Euclidean or non-Euclidean; this is a task for the physical sciences.
 
[[Bernhard Riemann]], in a famous lecture in 1854, founded the field of [[Riemannian geometry]], discussing in particular the ideas now called [[manifold]]s, [[Riemannian metric]], and [[curvature]].
He constructed an infinite family of geometries which are not Euclidean by giving a formula for a family of Riemannian metrics on the unit ball in [[Euclidean space]]. The simplest of these is called [[elliptic geometry]] and it is considered to be a non-Euclidean geometry due to its lack of parallel lines.<ref>However, other axioms besides the parallel postulate must be changed in order to make this a feasible geometry.</ref>
 
By formulating the geometry in terms of a curvature [[tensor]], Riemann allowed non-Euclidean geometry to be applied to higher dimensions.
 
===Terminology===
It was Gauss who coined the term "non-Euclidean geometry".<ref>Felix Klein, ''Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Standpoint: Geometry'', Dover, 1948 (reprint of English translation of 3rd Edition, 1940. First edition in German, 1908) pg. 176</ref> He was referring to his own work which today we call ''hyperbolic geometry''. Several modern authors still consider "non-Euclidean geometry" and "hyperbolic geometry" to be synonyms. In 1871, [[Felix Klein]], by adapting a metric discussed by [[Arthur Cayley]] in 1852, was able to bring metric properties into a projective setting and was therefore able to unify the treatments of hyperbolic, euclidean and elliptic geometry under the umbrella of [[projective geometry]].<ref>F. Klein, Über die sogenannte nichteuklidische Geometrie, ''Mathematische Annalen'', '''4'''(1871).</ref> Klein is responsible for the terms "hyperbolic" and "elliptic" (in his system he called Euclidean geometry "parabolic", a term which generally fell out of use<ref>The Euclidean plane is still referred to as "parabolic" in the context of [[conformal geometry]]: see [[Uniformization theorem]].</ref>). His influence has led to the current usage of the term "non-Euclidean geometry" to mean either "hyperbolic" or "elliptic" geometry.
 
There are some mathematicians who would extend the list of geometries that should be called "non-Euclidean" in various ways.<ref>for instance, {{harvnb|Manning|1963}} and Yaglom 1968</ref> In other disciplines, most notably [[mathematical physics]], the term "non-Euclidean" is often taken to mean ''not'' Euclidean.
 
==Axiomatic basis of non-Euclidean geometry==
 
Euclidean geometry can be axiomatically described in several ways. Unfortunately, Euclid's original system of five postulates (axioms) is not one of these as his proofs relied on several unstated assumptions which should also have been taken as axioms. [[Hilbert's axioms|Hilbert's system]] consisting of 20 axioms<ref>a 21<sup>st</sup> axiom appeared in the French translation of Hilbert's ''Grundlagen der Geometrie'' according to {{harvnb|Smart|1997|loc=pg. 416}}</ref> most closely follows the approach of Euclid and provides the justification for all of Euclid's proofs. Other systems, using different sets of [[Primitive notion|undefined terms]] obtain the same geometry by different paths. In all approaches, however, there is an axiom which is logically equivalent to Euclid's fifth postulate, the parallel postulate. [[David Hilbert|Hilbert]] uses the Playfair axiom form, while [[Garrett Birkhoff|Birkhoff]], for instance, uses the axiom which says that "there exists a pair of similar but not congruent triangles." In any of these systems, removal of the one axiom which is equivalent to the parallel postulate, in whatever form it takes, and leaving all the other axioms intact, produces [[absolute geometry]]. As the first 28 propositions of Euclid (in ''The Elements'') do not require the use of the parallel postulate or anything equivalent to it, they are all true statements in absolute geometry.<ref>{{harv|Smart|1997|loc=pg.366}}</ref>
 
To obtain a non-Euclidean geometry, the parallel postulate (or its equivalent) ''must'' be replaced by its [[negation]]. Negating the [[Playfair's axiom]] form, since it is a compound statement (... there exists one and only one ...), can be done in two ways. Either there will exist more than one line through the point parallel to the given line or there will exist no lines through the point parallel to the given line. In the first case, replacing the parallel postulate (or its equivalent) with the statement "In a plane, given a point P and a line ''ℓ'' not passing through P, there exist two lines through P which do not meet ''ℓ''" and keeping all the other axioms, yields [[hyperbolic geometry]].<ref>while only two lines are postulated, it is easily shown that there must be an infinite number of such lines.</ref> The second case is not dealt with as easily. Simply replacing the parallel postulate with the statement, "In a plane, given a point P and a line ''ℓ'' not passing through P, all the lines through P meet ''ℓ''", does not give a consistent set of axioms. This follows since parallel lines exist in absolute geometry,<ref>Book I Proposition 27 of Euclid's ''Elements''</ref> but this statement says that there are no parallel lines. This problem was known (in a different guise) to Khayyam, Saccheri and Lambert and was the basis for their rejecting what was known as the "obtuse angle case". In order to obtain a consistent set of axioms which includes this axiom about having no parallel lines, some of the other axioms must be tweaked. The adjustments to be made depend upon the axiom system being used. Among others these tweaks will have the effect of modifying Euclid's second postulate from the statement that line segments can be extended indefinitely to the statement that lines are unbounded. [[Riemann]]'s [[elliptic geometry]] emerges as the most natural geometry satisfying this axiom.
 
==Models of non-Euclidean geometry==
{{details|Models of non-Euclidean geometry}}
 
[[File:Triangles (spherical geometry).jpg|thumb|350px|On a sphere, the sum of the angles of a triangle is not equal to 180°. The surface of a sphere is not a Euclidean space, but locally the laws of the Euclidean geometry are good approximations. In a small triangle on the face of the earth, the sum of the angles is very nearly 180°.]]
 
Two dimensional Euclidean geometry is [[model (abstract)|modelled]] by our notion of a "flat [[plane (mathematics)|plane]]."
 
===Elliptic geometry===
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 (called [[antipodal points]]) are identified (considered to be the same). This is also one of the standard models of the [[real projective plane]]. The difference is that as a model of elliptic geometry a metric is introduced permitting the measurement of lengths and angles, while as a model of the projective plane there is no such metric.
 
In the elliptic model, for any given line ''ℓ'' and a point ''A'', which is not on ''ℓ'', all lines through ''A'' will intersect ''ℓ''.
 
===Hyperbolic geometry===
Even after the work of Lobachevsky, Gauss, and Bolyai, the question remained: "Does such a model exist for [[hyperbolic geometry]]?". The model for [[hyperbolic geometry]] was answered by [[Eugenio Beltrami]], in 1868, who first showed that a surface called the [[pseudosphere]] has the appropriate [[curvature]] to model a portion of [[hyperbolic space]] and in a second paper in the same year, defined the [[Klein model]] which models the entirety of hyperbolic space, and used this to show that Euclidean geometry and hyperbolic geometry were [[equiconsistency|equiconsistent]] so that hyperbolic geometry was [[logically consistent]] if and only if Euclidean geometry was. (The reverse implication follows from the [[horosphere]] model of Euclidean geometry.)
 
In the hyperbolic model, within a two-dimensional plane, for any given line ''ℓ'' and a point ''A'', which is not on ''ℓ'', there are [[Infinite set|infinitely]] many lines through ''A'' that do not intersect ''ℓ''.
 
In these models the concepts of non-Euclidean geometries are being represented by Euclidean objects in a Euclidean setting. This introduces a perceptual distortion wherein the straight lines of the non-Euclidean geometry are being represented by Euclidean curves which visually bend. This "bending" is not a property of the non-Euclidean lines, only an artifice of the way they are being represented.
 
==Uncommon properties==
[[File:Lambert quadrilateral.svg|upright|thumb|left|<center>Lambert quadrilateral in hyperbolic geometry</center>]]
[[File:Saccheri quads.svg|150px|thumb|<center>Saccheri quadrilaterals in the three geometries</center>]]
 
Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries naturally have many similar properties, namely those which do not depend upon the nature of parallelism. This commonality is the subject of [[absolute geometry]] (also called ''neutral geometry''). However, the properties which distinguish one geometry  from the others are the ones which have historically received the most attention.
 
Besides the behavior of lines with respect to a common perpendicular, mentioned in the introduction, we also have the following:
* A [[Lambert quadrilateral]] is a quadrilateral which has three right angles. The fourth angle of a Lambert quadrilateral is [[Acute angle|acute]] if the geometry is hyperbolic, a [[right angle]] if the geometry is Euclidean or [[Obtuse angle|obtuse]] if the geometry is elliptic. Consequently, [[rectangle]]s exist (a statement equivalent to the parallel postulate) only in Euclidean geometry.
 
* A [[Saccheri quadrilateral]] is a quadrilateral which has two sides of equal length, both perpendicular to a side called the ''base''. The other two angles of a Saccheri quadrilateral are called the ''summit angles'' and they have equal measure. The summit angles of a Saccheri quadrilateral are acute if the geometry is hyperbolic, right angles if the geometry is Euclidean and obtuse angles if the geometry is elliptic.
 
* The sum of the measures of the angles of any triangle is less than 180° if the geometry is hyperbolic, equal to 180° if the geometry is Euclidean, and greater than 180° if the geometry is elliptic. The ''defect'' of a triangle is the numerical value (180° - sum of the measures of the angles of the triangle). This result may also be stated as: the defect of triangles in hyperbolic geometry is positive, the defect of triangles in Euclidean geometry is zero, and the defect of triangles in elliptic geometry is negative.
 
==Importance==
Non-Euclidean geometry is an example of a [[paradigm shift]] in the [[history of science]].<ref>see {{harvnb|Trudeau|1987|loc=p. vii}}</ref> Before the models of a non-Euclidean plane were presented by Beltrami, Klein, and Poincaré, Euclidean geometry stood unchallenged as the [[mathematical model]] of [[space]]. Furthermore, since the substance of the subject in [[synthetic geometry]] was a chief exhibit of rationality, the Euclidean point of view represented absolute authority.
 
The discovery of the non-Euclidean geometries had a ripple effect which went far beyond the boundaries of mathematics and science. The philosopher [[Immanuel Kant]]'s treatment of human knowledge had a special role for geometry. It was his prime example of synthetic a priori knowledge; not derived from the senses nor deduced through logic &mdash; our knowledge of space was a truth that we were born with. Unfortunately for Kant, his concept of this unalterably true geometry was Euclidean. Theology was also affected by the change from absolute truth to relative truth in mathematics that was a result of this paradigm shift.<ref>Imre Toth, "Gott und Geometrie: Eine viktorianische Kontroverse," ''Evolutionstheorie und ihre Evolution'', Dieter Henrich, ed. (Schriftenreihe der Universität Regensburg, band 7, 1982) pp. 141–204.</ref>
 
The existence of non-Euclidean geometries impacted the "intellectual life" of [[Victorian England]] in many ways<ref>{{harv|Richards|1988}}</ref> and in particular was one of the leading factors that caused a re-examination of the teaching of geometry based on [[Euclid's Elements]]. This curriculum issue was hotly debated at the time and was even the subject of a play, ''[[Euclid and his Modern Rivals]]'', written by [[Lewis Carroll]], the author of [[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland|Alice in Wonderland]].<ref>[[Lewis Carroll]], see reference below.</ref>
 
==Planar algebras==
In [[analytic geometry]] a [[plane (geometry)|plane]] is described with [[Cartesian coordinate]]s : ''C'' = {(''x,y'') : ''x'', ''y'' in R}. The [[point (geometry)|point]]s are sometimes identified with complex numbers ''z'' = ''x'' + ''y'' ε where the square of ε is in {&minus;1, 0, +1}.
The Euclidean plane corresponds to the case ε<sup>2</sup> = &minus;1 since the modulus of ''z'' is given by
:<math>z z^\ast = (x + y \epsilon) (x - y \epsilon) = x^2 + y^2</math>
and this quantity is the square of the [[Euclidean distance]] between ''z'' and the origin.
For instance, {''z'' : ''z z''* = 1} is the [[unit circle]].
 
For planar algebra, non-Euclidean geometry arises in the other cases.
When <math>\epsilon ^2 = +1</math>, then ''z'' is a [[split-complex number]] and conventionally j replaces epsilon. Then
:<math>z z^\ast = (x + yj) (x - yj) = x^2 - y^2 \!</math>
and {''z'' : ''z z''* = 1} is the [[unit hyperbola]].
 
When <math>\epsilon ^2 = 0</math>, then ''z'' is a [[dual number]].<ref>Yaglom 1968</ref>
 
This approach to non-Euclidean geometry explains the non-Euclidean angles: the parameters of [[slope]] in the dual number plane and [[hyperbolic angle]] in the split-complex plane correspond to [[angle]] in Euclidean geometry. Indeed, they each arise in [[polar decomposition#Alternative planar decompositions|polar decomposition]] of a complex number z.<ref>Richard C. Tolman (2004) Theory of Relativity of Motion, page 194, §180 Non-Euclidean angle, §181 Kinematical interpretation of angle in terms of velocity</ref>
 
==Kinematic geometries==
Hyperbolic geometry found an application in [[kinematics]] with the [[cosmology]] introduced by [[Hermann Minkowski]] in 1908. Minkowski introduced terms like [[worldline]] and [[proper time]] into [[mathematical physics]].  He realized that the [[submanifold]], of events one moment of proper time into the future, could be considered a [[hyperbolic space]] of three dimensions.<ref>Hermann Minkowski (1908–9). [[s:Space and Time|"Space and Time"]] (Wikisource).</ref><ref>Scott Walter (1999) [http://www.univ-nancy2.fr/DepPhilo/walter/papers/nes.pdf Non-Euclidean Style of Special Relativity]</ref>
Already in the 1890s [[Alexander Macfarlane]] was charting this submanifold through his [[Alexander Macfarlane#Algebra of Physics|Algebra of Physics]] and [[hyperbolic quaternion]]s, though Macfarlane didn’t use cosmological  language as Minkowski did in 1908. The relevant structure is now called the [[hyperboloid model]] of hyperbolic geometry.
 
The non-Euclidean planar algebras support kinematic geometries in the plane. For instance, the [[split-complex number]] ''z'' = e<sup>''a''j</sup> can represent a spacetime event one moment into the future of a [[frame of reference]] of [[rapidity]] a. Furthermore, multiplication by ''z'' amounts to a [[Lorentz boost]] mapping the frame with rapidity zero to that with rapidity ''a''.
 
Kinematic study makes use of the [[dual number]]s <math>z = x + y \epsilon, \quad \epsilon^2 = 0,</math> to represent the classical description of motion in [[absolute time and space]]:
The equations <math>x^\prime = x + vt,\quad t^\prime = t</math>  are equivalent to a [[shear mapping]] in linear algebra:
:<math>\begin{pmatrix}x' \\ t' \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}1 & v \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}x \\ t \end{pmatrix}.</math>
With dual numbers the mapping is <math>t^\prime + x^\prime \epsilon = (1 + v \epsilon)(t + x \epsilon) = t + (x + vt)\epsilon.</math><ref>[[Isaak Yaglom]] (1979) A simple non-Euclidean geometry and its physical basis : an elementary account of Galilean geometry and the Galilean principle of relativity, Springer ISBN 0-387-90332-1</ref>
 
Another view of [[special relativity]] as a non-Euclidean geometry was advanced by [[Edwin Bidwell Wilson|E. B. Wilson]] and [[Gilbert N. Lewis|Gilbert Lewis]] in ''Proceedings of the [[American Academy of Arts and Sciences]]'' in 1912. They revamped the analytic geometry implicit in the split-complex number algebra into [[synthetic geometry]] of premises and deductions.<ref>[[Edwin B. Wilson]] & [[Gilbert N. Lewis]] (1912) "The Space-time Manifold of Relativity.

==Fiction==
Non-Euclidean geometry often makes appearances in works of [[science fiction]] and [[fantasy]].
 
Professor [[Professor Moriarty|James Moriarty]] a [[fictional character|character]] in the stories written by Sir [[Arthur Conan Doyle]] is
a criminal mastermind with a PhD in non-Euclidean geometries.
 
In 1895 [[H. G. Wells]] published the short story "The Remarkable Case of Davidson’s Eyes". To appreciate this story one should know how [[antipodal points]] on a sphere are identified in a model of the elliptic plane. In the story, in the midst of a thunderstorm, Sidney Davidson sees "Waves and a remarkably neat schooner" while working in an electrical laboratory at Harlow Technical College. At the story’s close Davidson proves to have witnessed H.M.S. ''Fulmar'' off  [[Antipodes Island]].
 
Non-Euclidean geometry is sometimes connected with the influence of the 20th century [[horror fiction]] writer [[H. P. Lovecraft]]. In his works, many unnatural things follow their own unique laws of geometry: In Lovecraft's [[Cthulhu Mythos]], the sunken city of [[R'lyeh]] is characterized by its non-Euclidean geometry. It is heavily implied this is achieved as a side effect of not following the natural laws of this universe rather than simply using an alternate geometric model, as the sheer innate wrongness of it is said to be capable of driving those who look upon it insane.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Call of Cthulhu|url=http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/cc.aspx}}</ref>
 
The main character in [[Robert Pirsig]]'s ''[[Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance]]'' mentioned Riemannian Geometry on multiple occasions.
 
In ''[[The Brothers Karamazov]]'', Dostoevsky discusses non-Euclidean geometry through his main character Ivan.
 
Christopher Priest's novel ''[[Inverted World]]'' describes the struggle of living on a planet with the form of a rotating [[pseudosphere]].
 
Robert Heinlein's ''[[The Number of the Beast (novel)|The Number of the Beast]]'' utilizes non-Euclidean geometry to explain instantaneous transport through space and time and between parallel and fictional universes.
 
Alexander Bruce's ''[[Antichamber]]'' uses non-Euclidean geometry to create a brilliant, minimal, [[M. C. Escher|Escher]]-like world, where geometry and space follow unfamiliar rules.
 
In the [[Renegade Legion]] [[science fiction]] setting for [[FASA]]'s [[Wargame (video games)|wargame]], [[role-playing-game]] and fiction, [[faster-than-light travel]] and communications is possible through the use of Hsieh Ho's Polydimensional Non-Euclidean Geometry, published sometime in the middle of the twenty-second century.

Behavior of lines with a common perpendicular in each of the three types of geometry

Template:General geometry In mathematics, non-Euclidean geometry consists of two geometries based on axioms closely related to those specifying Euclidean geometry. As Euclidean geometry lies at the intersection of metric geometry and affine geometry, non-Euclidean geometry arises when either the metric requirement is relaxed, or the parallel postulate is set aside. In the latter case one obtains hyperbolic geometry and elliptic geometry, the traditional non-Euclidean geometries. When the metric requirement is relaxed, then there are affine planes associated with the planar algebras which give rise to kinematic geometries that have also been called non-Euclidean geometry.

The essential difference between the metric geometries is the nature of parallel lines. Euclid's fifth postulate, the parallel postulate, is equivalent to Playfair's postulate, which states that, within a two-dimensional plane, for any given line and a point A, which is not on , there is exactly one line through A that does not intersect . In hyperbolic geometry, by contrast, there are infinitely many lines through A not intersecting , while in elliptic geometry, any line through A intersects (see the entries on hyperbolic geometry, elliptic geometry, and absolute geometry for more information).

Another way to describe the differences between these geometries is to consider two straight lines indefinitely extended in a two-dimensional plane that are both perpendicular to a third line:

  • In Euclidean geometry the lines remain at a constant distance from each other even if extended to infinity, and are known as parallels.
  • In hyperbolic geometry they "curve away" from each other, increasing in distance as one moves further from the points of intersection with the common perpendicular; these lines are often called ultraparallels.
  • In elliptic geometry the lines "curve toward" each other and intersect.

History

Early history

While Euclidean geometry, named after the Greek mathematician Euclid, includes some of the oldest known mathematics, non-Euclidean geometries were not widely accepted as legitimate until the 19th century.

The debate that eventually led to the discovery of the non-Euclidean geometries began almost as soon as Euclid's work Elements was written. In the Elements, Euclid began with a limited number of assumptions (23 definitions, five common notions, and five postulates) and sought to prove all the other results (propositions) in the work. The most notorious of the postulates is often referred to as "Euclid's Fifth Postulate," or simply the "parallel postulate", which in Euclid's original formulation is:

If a straight line falls on two straight lines in such a manner that the interior angles on the same side are together less than two right angles, then the straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.

Other mathematicians have devised simpler forms of this property (see parallel postulate for equivalent statements). Regardless of the form of the postulate, however, it consistently appears to be more complicated than Euclid's other postulates (which include, for example, "Between any two points a straight line may be drawn").

For at least a thousand years, geometers were troubled by the disparate complexity of the fifth postulate, and believed it could be proved as a theorem from the other four. Many attempted to find a proof by contradiction, including Persian mathematicians Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen, 11th century),[1] Omar Khayyám (12th century) and Nasīr al-Dīn al-Tūsī (13th century), and the Italian mathematician Giovanni Girolamo Saccheri (18th century).

The theorems of Ibn al-Haytham, Khayyam and al-Tusi on quadrilaterals, including the Lambert quadrilateral and Saccheri quadrilateral, were "the first few theorems of the hyperbolic and the elliptic geometries." These theorems along with their alternative postulates, such as Playfair's axiom, played an important role in the later development of non-Euclidean geometry. These early attempts at challenging the fifth postulate had a considerable influence on its development among later European geometers, including Witelo, Levi ben Gerson, Alfonso, John Wallis and Saccheri.[2] All of these early attempts made at trying to formulate non-Euclidean geometry however provided flawed proofs of the parallel postulate, containing assumptions that were essentially equivalent to the parallel postulate. These early attempts did, however, provide some early properties of the hyperbolic and elliptic geometries.

Khayyam, for example, tried to derive it from an equivalent postulate he formulated from "the principles of the Philosopher" (Aristotle): "Two convergent straight lines intersect and it is impossible for two convergent straight lines to diverge in the direction in which they converge."[3] Khayyam then considered the three cases right, obtuse, and acute that the summit angles of a Saccheri quadrilateral can take and after proving a number of theorems about them, he correctly refuted the obtuse and acute cases based on his postulate and hence derived the classic postulate of Euclid which he didn't realize was equivalent to his own postulate. Another example is al-Tusi's son, Sadr al-Din (sometimes known as "Pseudo-Tusi"), who wrote a book on the subject in 1298, based on al-Tusi's later thoughts, which presented another hypothesis equivalent to the parallel postulate. "He essentially revised both the Euclidean system of axioms and postulates and the proofs of many propositions from the Elements."[4][5] His work was published in Rome in 1594 and was studied by European geometers, including Saccheri[4] who criticised this work as well as that of Wallis.[6]

Giordano Vitale, in his book Euclide restituo (1680, 1686), used the Saccheri quadrilateral to prove that if three points are equidistant on the base AB and the summit CD, then AB and CD are everywhere equidistant.

In a work titled Euclides ab Omni Naevo Vindicatus (Euclid Freed from All Flaws), published in 1733, Saccheri quickly discarded elliptic geometry as a possibility (some others of Euclid's axioms must be modified for elliptic geometry to work) and set to work proving a great number of results in hyperbolic geometry. He finally reached a point where he believed that his results demonstrated the impossibility of hyperbolic geometry. His claim seems to have been based on Euclidean presuppositions, because no logical contradiction was present. In this attempt to prove Euclidean geometry he instead unintentionally discovered a new viable geometry, but did not realize it.

In 1766 Johann Lambert wrote, but did not publish, Theorie der Parallellinien in which he attempted, as Saccheri did, to prove the fifth postulate. He worked with a figure that today we call a Lambert quadrilateral, a quadrilateral with three right angles (can be considered half of a Saccheri quadrilateral). He quickly eliminated the possibility that the fourth angle is obtuse, as had Saccheri and Khayyam, and then proceeded to prove many theorems under the assumption of an acute angle. Unlike Saccheri, he never felt that he had reached a contradiction with this assumption. He had proved the non-Euclidean result that the sum of the angles in a triangle increases as the area of the triangle decreases, and this led him to speculate on the possibility of a model of the acute case on a sphere of imaginary radius. He did not carry this idea any further.[7]

At this time it was widely believed that the universe worked according to the principles of Euclidean geometry.[8]

Creation of non-Euclidean geometry

The beginning of the 19th century would finally witness decisive steps in the creation of non-Euclidean geometry. Circa 1813, Carl Friedrich Gauss and independently around 1818, the German professor of law Ferdinand Karl Schweikart[9] had the germinal ideas of non-Euclidean geometry worked out, but neither published any results. Then, around 1830, the Hungarian mathematician János Bolyai and the Russian mathematician Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky separately published treatises on hyperbolic geometry. Consequently, hyperbolic geometry is called Bolyai-Lobachevskian geometry, as both mathematicians, independent of each other, are the basic authors of non-Euclidean geometry. Gauss mentioned to Bolyai's father, when shown the younger Bolyai's work, that he had developed such a geometry several years before,[10] though he did not publish. While Lobachevsky created a non-Euclidean geometry by negating the parallel postulate, Bolyai worked out a geometry where both the Euclidean and the hyperbolic geometry are possible depending on a parameter k. Bolyai ends his work by mentioning that it is not possible to decide through mathematical reasoning alone if the geometry of the physical universe is Euclidean or non-Euclidean; this is a task for the physical sciences.

Bernhard Riemann, in a famous lecture in 1854, founded the field of Riemannian geometry, discussing in particular the ideas now called manifolds, Riemannian metric, and curvature. He constructed an infinite family of geometries which are not Euclidean by giving a formula for a family of Riemannian metrics on the unit ball in Euclidean space. The simplest of these is called elliptic geometry and it is considered to be a non-Euclidean geometry due to its lack of parallel lines.[11]

By formulating the geometry in terms of a curvature tensor, Riemann allowed non-Euclidean geometry to be applied to higher dimensions.

Terminology

It was Gauss who coined the term "non-Euclidean geometry".[12] He was referring to his own work which today we call hyperbolic geometry. Several modern authors still consider "non-Euclidean geometry" and "hyperbolic geometry" to be synonyms. In 1871, Felix Klein, by adapting a metric discussed by Arthur Cayley in 1852, was able to bring metric properties into a projective setting and was therefore able to unify the treatments of hyperbolic, euclidean and elliptic geometry under the umbrella of projective geometry.[13] Klein is responsible for the terms "hyperbolic" and "elliptic" (in his system he called Euclidean geometry "parabolic", a term which generally fell out of use[14]). His influence has led to the current usage of the term "non-Euclidean geometry" to mean either "hyperbolic" or "elliptic" geometry.

There are some mathematicians who would extend the list of geometries that should be called "non-Euclidean" in various ways.[15] In other disciplines, most notably mathematical physics, the term "non-Euclidean" is often taken to mean not Euclidean.

Axiomatic basis of non-Euclidean geometry

Euclidean geometry can be axiomatically described in several ways. Unfortunately, Euclid's original system of five postulates (axioms) is not one of these as his proofs relied on several unstated assumptions which should also have been taken as axioms. Hilbert's system consisting of 20 axioms[16] most closely follows the approach of Euclid and provides the justification for all of Euclid's proofs. Other systems, using different sets of undefined terms obtain the same geometry by different paths. In all approaches, however, there is an axiom which is logically equivalent to Euclid's fifth postulate, the parallel postulate. Hilbert uses the Playfair axiom form, while Birkhoff, for instance, uses the axiom which says that "there exists a pair of similar but not congruent triangles." In any of these systems, removal of the one axiom which is equivalent to the parallel postulate, in whatever form it takes, and leaving all the other axioms intact, produces absolute geometry. As the first 28 propositions of Euclid (in The Elements) do not require the use of the parallel postulate or anything equivalent to it, they are all true statements in absolute geometry.[17]

To obtain a non-Euclidean geometry, the parallel postulate (or its equivalent) must be replaced by its negation. Negating the Playfair's axiom form, since it is a compound statement (... there exists one and only one ...), can be done in two ways. Either there will exist more than one line through the point parallel to the given line or there will exist no lines through the point parallel to the given line. In the first case, replacing the parallel postulate (or its equivalent) with the statement "In a plane, given a point P and a line not passing through P, there exist two lines through P which do not meet " and keeping all the other axioms, yields hyperbolic geometry.[18] The second case is not dealt with as easily. Simply replacing the parallel postulate with the statement, "In a plane, given a point P and a line not passing through P, all the lines through P meet ", does not give a consistent set of axioms. This follows since parallel lines exist in absolute geometry,[19] but this statement says that there are no parallel lines. This problem was known (in a different guise) to Khayyam, Saccheri and Lambert and was the basis for their rejecting what was known as the "obtuse angle case". In order to obtain a consistent set of axioms which includes this axiom about having no parallel lines, some of the other axioms must be tweaked. The adjustments to be made depend upon the axiom system being used. Among others these tweaks will have the effect of modifying Euclid's second postulate from the statement that line segments can be extended indefinitely to the statement that lines are unbounded. Riemann's elliptic geometry emerges as the most natural geometry satisfying this axiom.

On a sphere, the sum of the angles of a triangle is not equal to 180°. The surface of a sphere is not a Euclidean space, but locally the laws of the Euclidean geometry are good approximations. In a small triangle on the face of the earth, the sum of the angles is very nearly 180°.

Two dimensional Euclidean geometry is modelled by our notion of a "flat plane."

Elliptic geometry

The simplest model for elliptic geometry is a sphere, where lines are "great circles" (such as the equator or the meridians on a globe), and points opposite each other (called antipodal points) are identified (considered to be the same). This is also one of the standard models of the real projective plane. The difference is that as a model of elliptic geometry a metric is introduced permitting the measurement of lengths and angles, while as a model of the projective plane there is no such metric.

In the elliptic model, for any given line and a point A, which is not on , all lines through A will intersect .

Hyperbolic geometry

Even after the work of Lobachevsky, Gauss, and Bolyai, the question remained: "Does such a model exist for hyperbolic geometry?". The model for hyperbolic geometry was answered by Eugenio Beltrami, in 1868, who first showed that a surface called the pseudosphere has the appropriate curvature to model a portion of hyperbolic space and in a second paper in the same year, defined the Klein model which models the entirety of hyperbolic space, and used this to show that Euclidean geometry and hyperbolic geometry were equiconsistent so that hyperbolic geometry was logically consistent if and only if Euclidean geometry was. (The reverse implication follows from the horosphere model of Euclidean geometry.)

In the hyperbolic model, within a two-dimensional plane, for any given line and a point A, which is not on , there are infinitely many lines through A that do not intersect .

In these models the concepts of non-Euclidean geometries are being represented by Euclidean objects in a Euclidean setting. This introduces a perceptual distortion wherein the straight lines of the non-Euclidean geometry are being represented by Euclidean curves which visually bend. This "bending" is not a property of the non-Euclidean lines, only an artifice of the way they are being represented.

Uncommon properties

Lambert quadrilateral in hyperbolic geometry
Saccheri quadrilaterals in the three geometries

Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries naturally have many similar properties, namely those which do not depend upon the nature of parallelism. This commonality is the subject of absolute geometry (also called neutral geometry). However, the properties which distinguish one geometry from the others are the ones which have historically received the most attention.

Besides the behavior of lines with respect to a common perpendicular, mentioned in the introduction, we also have the following:

  • A Lambert quadrilateral is a quadrilateral which has three right angles. The fourth angle of a Lambert quadrilateral is acute if the geometry is hyperbolic, a right angle if the geometry is Euclidean or obtuse if the geometry is elliptic. Consequently, rectangles exist (a statement equivalent to the parallel postulate) only in Euclidean geometry.
  • A Saccheri quadrilateral is a quadrilateral which has two sides of equal length, both perpendicular to a side called the base. The other two angles of a Saccheri quadrilateral are called the summit angles and they have equal measure. The summit angles of a Saccheri quadrilateral are acute if the geometry is hyperbolic, right angles if the geometry is Euclidean and obtuse angles if the geometry is elliptic.
  • The sum of the measures of the angles of any triangle is less than 180° if the geometry is hyperbolic, equal to 180° if the geometry is Euclidean, and greater than 180° if the geometry is elliptic. The defect of a triangle is the numerical value (180° - sum of the measures of the angles of the triangle). This result may also be stated as: the defect of triangles in hyperbolic geometry is positive, the defect of triangles in Euclidean geometry is zero, and the defect of triangles in elliptic geometry is negative.

Importance

Non-Euclidean geometry is an example of a paradigm shift in the history of science.[20] Before the models of a non-Euclidean plane were presented by Beltrami, Klein, and Poincaré, Euclidean geometry stood unchallenged as the mathematical model of space. Furthermore, since the substance of the subject in synthetic geometry was a chief exhibit of rationality, the Euclidean point of view represented absolute authority.

The discovery of the non-Euclidean geometries had a ripple effect which went far beyond the boundaries of mathematics and science. The philosopher Immanuel Kant's treatment of human knowledge had a special role for geometry. It was his prime example of synthetic a priori knowledge; not derived from the senses nor deduced through logic — our knowledge of space was a truth that we were born with. Unfortunately for Kant, his concept of this unalterably true geometry was Euclidean. Theology was also affected by the change from absolute truth to relative truth in mathematics that was a result of this paradigm shift.[21]

The existence of non-Euclidean geometries impacted the "intellectual life" of Victorian England in many ways[22] and in particular was one of the leading factors that caused a re-examination of the teaching of geometry based on Euclid's Elements. This curriculum issue was hotly debated at the time and was even the subject of a play, Euclid and his Modern Rivals, written by Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland.[23]

Planar algebras

In analytic geometry a plane is described with Cartesian coordinates : C = {(x,y) : x, y in R}. The points are sometimes identified with complex numbers z = x + y ε where the square of ε is in {−1, 0, +1}. The Euclidean plane corresponds to the case ε2 = −1 since the modulus of z is given by

and this quantity is the square of the Euclidean distance between z and the origin. For instance, {z : z z* = 1} is the unit circle.

For planar algebra, non-Euclidean geometry arises in the other cases. When , then z is a split-complex number and conventionally j replaces epsilon. Then

and {z : z z* = 1} is the unit hyperbola.

When , then z is a dual number.[24]

This approach to non-Euclidean geometry explains the non-Euclidean angles: the parameters of slope in the dual number plane and hyperbolic angle in the split-complex plane correspond to angle in Euclidean geometry. Indeed, they each arise in polar decomposition of a complex number z.[25]

Kinematic geometries

Hyperbolic geometry found an application in kinematics with the cosmology introduced by Hermann Minkowski in 1908. Minkowski introduced terms like worldline and proper time into mathematical physics. He realized that the submanifold, of events one moment of proper time into the future, could be considered a hyperbolic space of three dimensions.[26][27] Already in the 1890s Alexander Macfarlane was charting this submanifold through his Algebra of Physics and hyperbolic quaternions, though Macfarlane didn’t use cosmological language as Minkowski did in 1908. The relevant structure is now called the hyperboloid model of hyperbolic geometry.

The non-Euclidean planar algebras support kinematic geometries in the plane. For instance, the split-complex number z = eaj can represent a spacetime event one moment into the future of a frame of reference of rapidity a. Furthermore, multiplication by z amounts to a Lorentz boost mapping the frame with rapidity zero to that with rapidity a.

Kinematic study makes use of the dual numbers to represent the classical description of motion in absolute time and space: The equations are equivalent to a shear mapping in linear algebra:

With dual numbers the mapping is [28]

Another view of special relativity as a non-Euclidean geometry was advanced by E. B. Wilson and Gilbert Lewis in Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1912. They revamped the analytic geometry implicit in the split-complex number algebra into synthetic geometry of premises and deductions.[29][30]

Fiction

Non-Euclidean geometry often makes appearances in works of science fiction and fantasy.

Professor James Moriarty a character in the stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a criminal mastermind with a PhD in non-Euclidean geometries.

In 1895 H. G. Wells published the short story "The Remarkable Case of Davidson’s Eyes". To appreciate this story one should know how antipodal points on a sphere are identified in a model of the elliptic plane. In the story, in the midst of a thunderstorm, Sidney Davidson sees "Waves and a remarkably neat schooner" while working in an electrical laboratory at Harlow Technical College. At the story’s close Davidson proves to have witnessed H.M.S. Fulmar off Antipodes Island.

Non-Euclidean geometry is sometimes connected with the influence of the 20th century horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. In his works, many unnatural things follow their own unique laws of geometry: In Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, the sunken city of R'lyeh is characterized by its non-Euclidean geometry. It is heavily implied this is achieved as a side effect of not following the natural laws of this universe rather than simply using an alternate geometric model, as the sheer innate wrongness of it is said to be capable of driving those who look upon it insane.[31]

The main character in Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance mentioned Riemannian Geometry on multiple occasions.

In The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky discusses non-Euclidean geometry through his main character Ivan.

Christopher Priest's novel Inverted World describes the struggle of living on a planet with the form of a rotating pseudosphere.

Robert Heinlein's The Number of the Beast utilizes non-Euclidean geometry to explain instantaneous transport through space and time and between parallel and fictional universes.

Alexander Bruce's Antichamber uses non-Euclidean geometry to create a brilliant, minimal, Escher-like world, where geometry and space follow unfamiliar rules.

In the Renegade Legion science fiction setting for FASA's wargame, role-playing-game and fiction, faster-than-light travel and communications is possible through the use of Hsieh Ho's Polydimensional Non-Euclidean Geometry, published sometime in the middle of the twenty-second century.

    "But in a manuscript probably written by his son Sadr al-Din in 1298, based on Nasir al-Din's later thoughts on the subject, there is a new argument based on another hypothesis, also equivalent to Euclid's, [...] The importance of this latter work is that it was published in Rome in 1594 and was studied by European geometers. In particular, it became the starting point for the work of Saccheri and ultimately for the discovery of non-Euclidean geometry."

  8. A notable exception is David Hume, who as early as 1739 seriously entertained the possibility that our universe was non-Euclidean; see David Hume (1739/1978) A Treatise of Human Nature, L.A. Selby-Bigge, ed. (Oxford: Oxford University Press), pp. 51-52.
  9. In a letter of December 1818, Ferdinand Karl Schweikart (1780-1859) sketched a few insights into non-Euclidean geometry. The letter was forwarded to Gauss in 1819 by Gauss's former student Gerling. In his reply to Gerling, Gauss praised Schweikart and mentioned his own, earlier research into non-Euclidean geometry. See:
    • Carl Friedrich Gauss, Werke (Leipzig, Germany: B. G. Teubner, 1900), volume 8, pages 180-182.
    • English translations of Schweikart's letter and Gauss's reply to Gerling appear in: Course notes: "Gauss and non-Euclidean geometry", University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada; see especially pages 10 and 11.
    • Letters by Schweikart and the writings of his nephew Franz Adolph Taurinus (1794-1874), who also was interested in non-Euclidean geometry and who in 1825 published a brief book on the parallel axiom, appear in: Paul Stäckel and Freidrich Engel, Die theorie der Parallellinien von Euklid bis auf Gauss, eine Urkundensammlung der nichteuklidischen Geometrie (The theory of parallel lines from Euclid to Gauss, an archive of non-Euclidean geometry), (Leipzig, Germany: B. G. Teubner, 1895), pages 243 ff.
  10. In the letter to Wolfgang (Farkas) Bolyai of March 6, 1832 Gauss claims to have worked on the problem for thirty or thirty-five years Template:Harv. In his 1824 letter to Taurinus Template:Harv he claimed that he had been working on the problem for over 30 years and provided enough detail to show that he actually had worked out the details. According to Template:Harvtxt it wasn't until around 1813 that Gauss had come to accept the existence of a new geometry.
  11. However, other axioms besides the parallel postulate must be changed in order to make this a feasible geometry.
