It encompasses a wide range of topics, including points, lines, angles, planes, polygons, circles, and three-dimensional figures. The study of geometry dates back to ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptians and Greeks, who developed fundamental concepts and theorems. Euclidean geometry, named after the Greek mathematician Euclid, is one of the most well-known branches, focusing on plane and solid figures. Other branches of geometry include analytic geometry, which combines algebra and geometry, and non-Euclidean geometries, which are based on different postulates than those of Euclid. Geometry finds applications in various fields, such as architecture, engineering, physics, computer graphics, and even art.
