different between geometry vs topography
geometry
English
Etymology
- From Old French géométrie, from Latin geometria, from Ancient Greek ????????? (ge?metría, “geometry, land-survey”), from ????????? (ge?métr?s, “land measurer”), from ?? (gê, “earth, land, country”) + -?????? (-metría, “measurement”), from ?????? (métron, “a measure”).
Doublet of gematria.
Pronunciation
- (US) IPA(key): /d?i??m?t?i/
- (UK) IPA(key): /d?i???m?t?i/, /?d??m?t?i/
Noun
geometry (countable and uncountable, plural geometries)
- (mathematics, uncountable) The branch of mathematics dealing with spatial relationships.
- 1925, David Eugene Smith, Marcia Latham (translators), René Descartes, The Geometry of Rene Descartes, [1637, La Géométrie], 2007, Cosimo Classics, page 2,
- ANY problem in geometry can easily be reduced to such terms that a knowledge of the lengths of certain straight lines is sufficient for its construction.
- 1925, David Eugene Smith, Marcia Latham (translators), René Descartes, The Geometry of Rene Descartes, [1637, La Géométrie], 2007, Cosimo Classics, page 2,
- (mathematics, often qualified in combination, countable) A mathematical system that deals with spatial relationships and that is built on a particular set of axioms; a subbranch of geometry which deals with such a system or systems.
- 1975 [Addison-Wesley], Eugene F. Krause, Taxicab Geometry, 1986, Dover, page 64,
- Entire new geometries are also suggested by real-world cities.
- 2004, Judith Cederberg, A Course in Modern Geometries, Springer, page 1,
- Finite geometries were developed in the late nineteenth century, in part to demonstrate and test the axiomatic properties of completeness, consistency, and independence.
- 2006, Mark Wagner, The Geometries of Visual Space, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, page ix,
- Previous theorists have often tried to test whether visual space is best described by a small set of traditional geometries, such as the Euclidean geometry most of us studied in High School or the hyperbolic and spherical geometries introduced by 19th-century mathematicians.
- 1975 [Addison-Wesley], Eugene F. Krause, Taxicab Geometry, 1986, Dover, page 64,
- (countable) The observed or specified spatial attributes of an object, etc.
- 2018 March 14, Roger Penrose, 'Mind over matter': Stephen Hawking – obituary, in The Guardian,
- He was extremely highly regarded, in view of his many greatly impressive, sometimes revolutionary, contributions to the understanding of the physics and the geometry of the universe.
- 2018 March 14, Roger Penrose, 'Mind over matter': Stephen Hawking – obituary, in The Guardian,
- (algebraic geometry, countable) A mathematical object comprising representations of a space and of its spatial relationships.
