Non-Euclidean Geometry, or The Science of Absolute Space

Euclidean Geometry before non-Euclidean Geometry

In [3], in my argument for the primacy of Euclidean geometry on the basis of rigid motions and the existence of similar but non-congruent triangles, I wrote the following: A: “The mobility of rigid objects is now recognized as one of the things every normal human child learns in infancy, and this learning appears to be part of our biological progaramming.” B. “. . . we are all used to thinking ...

Spatial Analysis in curved spaces with Non-Euclidean Geometry

The ultimate goal of spatial information, both as part of technology and as science, is to answer questions and issues related to space, place, and location. Therefore, geometry is widely used for description, storage, and analysis. Undoubtedly, one of the most essential features of spatial information is geometric features, and one of the most obvious types of analysis is the geometric type an...

The Geometry of the Quantum Euclidean Space

A detailed study is made of the noncommutative geometry of Rq, the quantum space covariant under the quantum group SOq(3). For each of its two SOq(3)-covariant differential calculi we find its metric, the corresponding frame and two torsion-free covariant derivatives that are metric compatible up to a conformal factor and which yield both a vanishing linear curvature. A discussion is given of v...

Non - Euclidean Geometry ,

Non - Euclidean method of the generalized geometry construction and its application to space - time geometry

Non-Euclidean method of the generalized geometry construction is considered. According to this approach any generalized geometry is obtained as a result of deformation of the proper Euclidean geometry. The method may be applied for construction of space-time geometries. Uniform isotropic space-time geometry other, than that of Minkowski, is considered as an example. The problem of the geometric...
