2. Geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

   Geometry (from Ancient Greek γεωμετρία (geōmetría) 'land measurement'; from γῆ (gê) 'earth, land' and μέτρον (métron) 'a measure') [ 1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. [ 2] Geometry is, along with arithmetic, one of the ...

3. Algebraic geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_geometry

   Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which uses abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, to solve geometrical problems. Classically, it studies zeros of multivariate polynomials; the modern approach generalizes this in a few different aspects. The fundamental objects of study in algebraic geometry are algebraic ...

4. Law of cosines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_cosines

   Law of cosines. Fig. 1 – A triangle. The angles α (or A ), β (or B ), and γ (or C) are respectively opposite the sides a, b, and c. In trigonometry, the law of cosines (also known as the cosine formula or cosine rule) relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the cosine of one of its angles. For a triangle with sides and opposite ...

   Glossary of mathematical symbols. A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula. As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various ...

6. Euclidean geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_geometry

   Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, which he described in his textbook on geometry, Elements. Euclid's approach consists in assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms (postulates) and deducing many other propositions ( theorems) from these. Although many of Euclid's results had ...
