(The Nile river overflowed very year, and the river banks would have to be re-surveyed). 7 He discovered the connection between algebra and geometry. 8 an extension of Euclid's principles of geometry to 3 dimensional objects (also called hyperbolic or elliptic geometry) 9 An example of this would be a geometry based on the graphics displayed on a computer screen, where the pixels are considered to be the points. 10 branch of geometry that studies planes, lines and surfaces in a 3 dimensional space using the principles of calculus 11 He is responsible for the most recent development in geometry (fractal geometry). 12 A Greek mathematician who developed coordinate geometry and derived the formula for the area of a circle 13 Their discoveries include curves, area of surfaces, and volumes of solids. They went from a trial and error thought process to logical deductions. 14 the most commonly known geometry (what is taught in schools, particularly in lower grades) Projective Geometry Finite Geometry Analytic Geometry differential geometry Mandelbrot Archimedes Thales Greeks Descartes Babylonia Euclidean Geometry Non-Euclidean Geometry Euclid Egyptians
