Models of non Euclideangeometry are mathematical model s of geometries 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 .

Distinguish2 the mathematical meaning of Non Euclideangeometry Image Triangles spherical geometry .jpg thumb 350px On a sphere, the sum of the angles of a triangle is not equal to 180 . A sphere is not a Euclidean space, but locally the laws of the Euclideangeometry are good approximations. In a small .... The equivalents of lines are not defined in the usual sense of straight line in Euclideangeometry ... . Spherical geometry is the geometry of the two dimension al surface of a sphere . It is an example of a geometry which is not Euclidean. Two practical applications of the principles of spherical geometry are to navigation and astronomy . In plane geometry the basic concepts are Point geometry ... the geodesics are the great circle s other geometric concepts are defined as in plane geometry but with straight lines replaced by great circles. Thus, in spherical geometry angle s are defined between ... geometry is not elliptic geometry but shares with that geometry the property that a line has no parallels through a given point. Contrast this with Euclideangeometry , in which a line has one parallel through a given point, and hyperbolic geometry , in which a line has two parallels and an infinite number of ultraparallels through a given point. An important geometry related to that of the sphere ... points on the sphere. This is elliptic geometry. Locally, the projective plane has all the properties of spherical geometry, but it has different global properties. In particular, it is orientability non orientable , or one sided.
