Non-Euclidean Geometry
This applet allows click-and-drag drawing in the Poincare model of the (hyperbolic) non-Euclidean plane, and also motion . The circular arcs drawn by mouse drags are the geodesics (straight lines) in this model of geometry. In "move" mode, click-and-drag slides the whole picture in the direction of the mouse drag. This is analogous to ordinary "sliding" of objects in Euclidean space; however, in this non-Euclidean geometry the Euclidean picture of it makes things appear to become smaller as they move toward the edge. But, in fact, in terms of the non-Euclidean geometry, despite appearances, these motions preserve distances and angles. The preservation of angles should be detectable if one keeps in mind that the angles are angles between the arcs of circles at their point of intersection. Since the bounding circle is "infinitely far away", the motion of the picture does not exactly parallel the mouse drag motion, but instead moves about the same non-Euclidean distance as the Euclidean distance moved by the mouse. So the picture will appear to lag behind the mouse.

The Ontology and Cosmology of Non-Euclidean Geometry
Though there never were a circle or triangle in nature, the truths demonstrated by Euclid would for ever retain their certainty and evidence. David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding , Section IV, Part I, p. 20 [L.A. Shelby-Bigge, editor, Oxford University Press, 1902, 1972, p. 25] [ note
Until recently, Albert Einstein's complaints in his later years about the intelligibility of Quantum Mechanics often led philosophers and physicists to dismiss him as, essentially, an old fool in his dotage. Happily, this kind of thing is now coming to an end as a philosophers and mathematicians of the caliber of Karl Popper and Roger Penrose conspicuously point out the continuing conceptual difficulties of quantum theory [cf. Penrose's searching discussion in The Emperor's New Mind reductio ad absurdum argument against A fine statement about all this can be found in Joseph Agassi's foreword to the recent Einstein Versus Bohr , by the dissident physicist Mendel Sachs (Open Court, 1991): It is amazing that such things need to be said, and it is particularly revealing that the responses Agassi got to his questions reminded him of the intolerance of religious dogmatism.

4. KSEG
A program for exploring euclidean geometry.
http://www.mit.edu/~ibaran/kseg.html
KSEG Free Interactive Geometry Software
Update: April 29 Italian Translation Updated
Giancarlo Bassi has sent an update to his translation. Download the new qm file and the help file if you use Italian.
Update: April 20 Welsh Translation
Kevin Donnelly sent me a translation of KSEG into Welsh. The .qm file is here.
Update: April 18 KSEG 0.4 out!
The new features are view panning, zooming, exporting to an image (including high-quality antialiased output), as well as one-step construction of segment, ray, or arc endpoints and circle or arc centers (this is useful for Constructions). I have also changed printing (I think for the better :)it is now more accurate and prints the view, rather than scaling everything. High-quality images (not screenshotsthose are below) of a well-known theorem and a strange locus, both exported with KSEG:
Description:
KSEG is a Free (GPL) interactive geometry program for exploring Euclidean geometry. It runs on Unix-based platforms (according to users, it also compiles and runs on Mac OS X and should run on anything that Qt supports). You create a construction, such as a triangle with a circumcenter, and then, as you drag verteces of the triangle, you can see the circumcenter moving in real time. Of course, you can do a lot more than thatsee the feature list below. KSEG can be used in the classroom, for personal exploration of geometry, or for making high-quality figures for LaTeX. It is very fast, stable, and the UI has been designed for efficiency and consistency. I can usually make a construction in KSEG in less than half the time it takes me to do it with similar programs. Despite the name, it is Qt based and does not require KDE to run.

Non-Euclidean Geometry
H.S.M. Coexeter
Series: Spectrum A classic is back in print! No living geometer writes more clearly and beautifully about difficult topics than world famous professor H. S. M. Coxeter. When non-Euclidean geometry was first developed, it seemed little more than a curiosity with no relevance to the real world. Then to everyone's amazement, it turned out to be essential to Einstein's general theory of relativity! Coxeter's book has remained out of print for too long. Hats off to the MAA for making this classic available once more.
-Martin Gardner Coxeter's geometry books are a treasure that should not be lost. I am delighted to see "Non-Euclidean Geometry" back in print.
-Doris Schattschneider H. S. M. Coxeter's classic book on non-Euclidean geometry was first published in 1942, and enjoyed eight reprintings before it went out of print in 1968. The MAA is delighted to be the publisher of the sixth edition of this wonderful book, updated with a new section 15.9 on the author's useful concept of inversive distance. Throughout most of this book, non-Euclidean geometries in spaces of two or three dimensions are treated as specializations of real projective geometry in terms of a simple set of axioms concerning points, lines, planes, incidence, order and continuity, with no mention of the measurement of distances or angles. This synthetic development is followed by the introduction of homogeneous coordinates, beginning with Von Staudt's idea of regarding points as entities that can be added or multiplied. Transformations that preserve incidence are called colineations. They lead in a natural way to elliptic isometries or "congruent transformations". Following a recommendation by Bertrand Russell, continuity is described in terms of

6. Non-Euclidean Geometry With LOGO
This document is a Review of Noneuclidean geometry with LOGO by Helen Sims-Coomber and Ralp Martin prepared by Pam Bishiop of CTI Mathematics which appeared
http://www.bham.ac.uk/ctimath/reviews/logo.html
Non-Euclidean Geometry with LOGO
Helen Sims-Coomber and Ralph Martin, Department of Computing Mathematics, University of Wales, College of Cardiff.
This article describes a version of LOGO currently under development at Cardiff that uses non-Euclidean geometry. The ultimate aim is that a final version could be given to mathematics students to help them visualise non-Euclidean geometry. The programming language LOGO with its Turtle Graphics facilities is well known in educational circles. The turtle is a small triangular pointer that appears on the display screen. Simple commands are used to move it (FORWARD or BACK) and rotate it (LEFT or RIGHT); it leaves a trail behind it as it moves around the screen. Using the turtle to draw in this way provides an easy introduction to computing for young children, but LOGO is equally suitable for older students. Many sophisticated areas of mathematics (including topology, relativity and differential geometry) can be explored through the use of turtle graphics (see [1]). The system under development at Cardiff is specifically designed for exploring non-Euclidean geometry. Euclidean geometry is the kind taught in schools. Most students will be familiar with the properties of Euclidean parallel lines; given a straight line, L, and a point, P, not on the line, we can construct exactly one line through P parallel to L. The distinguishing feature of non-Euclidean geometry is the behaviour of parallel lines. There are two main types of non-Euclidean geometry: hyperbolic geometry, in which more than one line parallel to L can be constructed, and elliptic geometry, in which parallel lines do not exist at all.

In about 300 BC Euclid wrote The Elements, a book which was to become one of the most famous books ever written. Euclid stated five postulates on which he based all his theorems:
  • To draw a straight line from any point to any other.
  • To produce a finite straight line continuously in a straight line.
  • To describe a circle with any centre and distance.
  • That all right angles are equal to each other.
  • That, if a straight line falling on two straight lines make the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.
    It is clear that the fifth postulate is different from the other four. It did not satisfy Euclid and he tried to avoid its use as long as possible - in fact the first 28 propositions of The Elements are proved without using it. Another comment worth making at this point is that Euclid , and many that were to follow him, assumed that straight lines were infinite. Proclus (410-485) wrote a commentary on The Elements where he comments on attempted proofs to deduce the fifth postulate from the other four, in particular he notes that

    Most of us are familiar with the term geometry. The only real difference between one high-schooler and another's opinion on geometry is the connotation of the word. It may be interesting to know for someone whose knowledge on geometery comes only fro m the course they took in high school that what they learned to be a straight line is curved in other types of geometry. These types of geometry are called non-Euclidean because they do not follow the rules that were concretely established in Euclid's El ements. Before I address the topic of Euclidean geometry, I'd like to try to clarify exactly what Euclidean geometry is. Euclidean geometry consists of all the known rules, definitions, propositions, and thereoms before and up to the time of the Greek scholar Euclid. Euclid compiled all of this information into a thirteen-volume set of books entitled Euclid's Elements. The books start with those studies of Pythagoras. Of course, Pythagoras' most known contribution to geometry is the Pythagoram Thereom - a2 + b2 = c2. Other mathematicians whose studies are found in the Elements are Apollonius, who contributed to conics, and Archimedes, who gave his knowledge of mechanics and the areas of circles. I think the best way to describe Euclidean geometry is to say that it is all based on the daily human perception of the world, and with the relationship between objects. For example, if I am standing on a floor in school, it is a given that the floor is level. If I am looking at a desktop parallel to the floor then one can only draw the assumption that the desktop is also level. I drew all of these assumptions based on the location and relativity of the objects near me. If I take a ruler and lay it on its side on a desktop, and they align, the desktop is straight. Straight is known also as a 180 degree angle.

    What is Non-Euclidean Geometry
    1.1 Euclidean Geometry:
    he Geometry with which we are most familiar is called Euclidean Geometry. Euclidean Geometry was named after Euclid, a Greek mathematician who lived in 300 BC. His book, called "The Elements", is a collection of axioms, theorems and proofs about squares, circles acute angles, isosceles triangles, and other such things. Most of the theorems which are taught in high schools today can be found in Euclid's 2000 year old book. Euclidean Geometry was of great practical value to the ancient Greeks as they used it (and we still use it today) to design buildings and survey land.
    1.2 Spherical Geometry:
    non-Euclidean Geometry is any geometry that is different from Euclidean Geometry. One of the most useful non-Euclidean geometries is Spherical Geometry which describes the surface of a sphere. Spherical Geometry is used by pilots and ship captains as they navigate around the world. Working in Spherical Geometry has some non intuitive results. For example, did you know that the shortest flying distance from Florida to the Philippine Islands is a path across Alaska? The Philippines are South of Florida - why is flying North to Alaska a short-cut? The answer is that Florida, Alaska, and the Philippines are collinear locations in Spherical Geometry (they lie on a "Great Circle"). Another odd property of Spherical Geometry is that

    Thabit ibn Qurra was a native of Harran and a member of the Sabian sect. The Sabian religious sect were star worshippers from Harran often confused with the Mandaeans (as they are in [1]). Of course being worshipers of the stars meant that there was strong motivation for the study of astronomy and the sect produced many quality astronomers and mathematicians. The sect, with strong Greek connections, had in earlier times adopted Greek culture, and it was common for members to speak Greek although after the conquest of the Sabians by Islam, they became Arabic speakers. There was another language spoken in southeastern Turkey, namely Syriac, which was based on the East Aramaic dialect of Edessa. This language was Thabit ibn Qurra's native language, but he was fluent in both Greek and Arabic. Some accounts say that Thabit was a money changer as a young man. This is quite possible but some historians do not agree. Certainly he inherited a large family fortune and must have come from a family of high standing in the community.
