Geometry

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the sizes, shapes, positions angles and dimensions of things. Flat shapes like squares, circles, and triangles are a part of flat geometry and are called 2D shapes. These shapes have only 2 dimensions, the length and the width.

History of Geometry

Geometry was first recorded in ancient Egypt and Babylon. At around 600 BC, the Greeks began a formal study of geometry. Pythagoras and Euclid are two of the most famous Greek geometers.

Types of Geometry

There are several types of geometry, including:

• Euclidean geometry
• Differential geometry
• Non-Euclidean geometry
• Topology
• Analytic geometry
• Algebraic geometry

Applications of Geometry

Geometry is used in many fields, including art, architecture, physics, engineering, and space science.
