Classical geometry


Classical geometry is a branch of geometry based on Euclid's Elements and defined as the science of space figures. It presupposes several notions such as the alignment and the comparison of angles or lengths, to which it attributes certain properties which define the Euclidean geometry.

Classical geometry is gradually being displaced by analytical geometry, which reduces the study of figures to algebraic expressions through various coordinate systems. At the same time, a more solid axiomatic approach, based on set theory, gives rise to synthetic geometry. code Bibliography edit code
