It is important to combine the knowledge with real life situations. This can be done by solving applied mathematical problems developing pupil’s

Euclidean Geometry Geometry was thoroughly organized in about 300 BC‚ when the Greek mathematician Euclid gathered what was known at the time‚ added original work of his own‚ and arranged 465 propositions into 13 books‚ called ’Elements’. The books covered not only plane and solid geometry but also much of what is now known as algebra‚ trigonometry‚ and advanced arithmetic. Through the ages‚ the propositions have been rearranged‚ and many of the proofs are different‚ but the basic idea presented

Euclid “Father of Geometry” Euclid is a Greek mathematician. He was also known as Euclid of Alexandria‚ “The Father of Geometry”. Little is known of his life other than the fact that he taught at Alexandria‚ being associated with the school that grew up there in the late 4th century B.C. It is believed that he taught at Plato’s academy in Athens‚ Greece. Most history states that he was a kind‚ patient‚ and fair man. One story that exposes something of his personality‚ involves

We use Euclidean and Non-Euclidean geometry in our everyday use. In many ways they are similar and different. There are similarities and differences in Euclidean geometry and spherical geometry‚ Euclid’s fifth postulate applies to both forms‚ and it is used every day in astronomy. Euclidean geometry is the study of flat space‚ and can be easily drawn on a piece of paper. Non-Euclidean geometry is any form of geometry that uses a postulate that is equivalent to the negation of Euclidean parallel postulate

Geometry (Greek γεωμετρία; geo = earth‚ metria = measure)‚ Its beginnings can be traced in ancient Egypt or early or before 1700 B.C. Due to necessity‚ every time the Nile River inundated and deposited fertile soil along the bank‚ the early Egyptian had to solve the problem of size and boundaries of land along the Nile River. Changes happened in the contour of the land had caused confusion among landowners. So a system of making boundaries‚ measuring lengths and areas had to be discovered

Descriptive Geometry “Drawing is the language of design‚ and if drawing can be thought of as a language then‚ descriptive geometry is the grammar of this language.” Definition: Descriptive geometry is the branch of geometry which allows the representation of three-dimensional objects in two dimensions‚ by using a specific set of procedures. The resulting techniques are important for engineering‚ architecture‚ design and in art. The theoretical basis for descriptive geometry is provided

have conducted my research through interview with someone familiar with construction and development as how geometry is used in these fields. The first step to development is to survey the property in order to document and draw the bounds and land surface shapes. The property will be represented by various geometry elements such as points‚ lines‚ arcs‚ circles‚ and other defined geometry shapes. Surveyors use scope on tripods witch use projection of line Referenced point on a stick in order to

robot kinematics‚ require a unified methodology to identify the variables of a robot’s or manipulator’s joints and links. Co-ordinate Frames Robotic kinematics depends on the use of right handed cartesian frames of reference. Manipulator Geometry A manipulator consists of two types of joints‚ connected by a link. Link A link is a solid mechanical structure which connects two joints. The main purpose of a link is to maintain a fixed relationship between the joints at its ends. The

Little is know about Euclid‚ the father of geometry. Records show that he lived somewhere around 300 B.C. He was a Greek mathematician and is probably best known for his work Elements. Since little is known about the personal life of Euclid‚ it is difficult to do a biography on him. His chief work‚ entitled Elements‚ is a comprehensive essay on mathematics. It includes 13 volumes that entail such subjects as plane geometry‚ dealing with the properties of flat surfaces and of planar figures

need to be made aware of the fact that the study of geometry arose in response to certain human needs. They should know about the use of geometry in our daily or real life. In this project‚ students will discover situations in daily life where geometrical concepts can be used effectively. In particular we find situations where the properties of similar triangles are useful and how to find height and distance of any object with the help of geometry and trigonometry. Objective
