- What is geometry?
is a branch of mathemaics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer. Geometry arose independently in a number of early cultures as a body of practical knowledge concerning lenghts, areas, and volumes, with elements of a formal mathematical science.
- Points, Lines & Planes
The most fundamental geometric form is a point. It is represented as a dot with a capital alphabet which is its name A line is a set of points and it extends in opposite directions up to infinity. It is represented by two points on the line and a double headed arrow or a single alphabet in the lower case. A plane is a two dimensional (flat) surface that extends in all directions up to infinity.
A plane has obviously no size and definitely no shape. However it is represented as a quadrangle and a single capital letter.
