GEOMETRY

Geometry (Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- "earth", -metria "measurement") is a branch of mathematicslengths, areas, and volumes, in the 3rd century BC geometry was put into an axiomatic form by Euclid, whose treatment—Euclidean geometry—set a standard for many centuries to follow. concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. Geometry is one of the oldest mathematical sciences. Initially a body of practical knowledge concerning 

The introduction of coordinates by René Descartes and the concurrent development of algebraplane curves, could now be represented analytically, i.e., with functions and equations. This played a key role in the emergence of infinitesimal calculus in the 17th century. Furthermore, the theory of perspective showed that there is more to geometry than just the metric properties of figures: perspective is the origin of projective geometry. marked a new stage for geometry, since geometric figures, such as
