Geometry

Geometry (Greek Γεωμετρια, geo = earth, metria = measure) arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. It was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers. In modern times, geometric concepts have been generalized to a high level of abstraction and complexity, and have been subjected to the methods of calculus and abstract algebra, so that many modern branches of the field are barely recognizable as the descendants of early geometry. (See areas of mathematics and algebraic geometry.)

Areas of mathematics: The aim of this page is to list all areas of modern mathematics, with a brief explanation about their scope and links to other parts of Wikipedia, set out in a systematic way. The way research-level mathematics is internally organised is mostly determined by practitioners, and does change over time;...

Algebraic geometry: Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which, as the name suggests, combines abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with geometry. It can be seen as the study of solution sets of systems of algebraic equations. When there is more than one variable, geometric considerations enter, a...
