Geometry ? a Greek term meaning ?measure of the earth? Geometry is concerned with questions of size, shape, and relative positions of figures. The ancient Greek mathematician Euclid applied rigorous logic to the properties of Geometry and created an axiomatic system. Axiom ? self-evident truth that provides a starting point for deductive reasoning; sometimes called a ?postulate? Euclid was so influential that his textbook Elements was taught for over two millennia. What we study is called ?Euclidean Geometry.? There is also non-Euclidean Geometry, which is beyond the scope of this course.
