Have you ever heard the question, “When am I ever going to use this?” in a math class? Many people wonder why studying geometry is so important. Clearly, they fail to realize no matter what they do from day-to-day, geometry is involved somehow.
If you want to be a painter, you need geometry. If you want to be any type of engineer, civil, mechanical, or aerospace, you need to know and understand geometry because of the many structures you will be building. Hard-core gamer?
Those who created the games needed geometry in order develop their ideas, so what they were envisioning could come alive through technology.
Not a day goes by where some type of geometry is not incorporated into our lives whether we know it or not. What is cool about Euclidean geometry though is that thanks to Euclid, everything has already been proven!
We are not the ones who have to determine by ourselves why things in geometry work.
Although, it is important to study the proofs Euclid has provided us with because we need understand why geometry works, and not just settle for knowing proofs will always work.
Another type of geometry included on this site is non-Euclidean geometry.
This type of geometry is similar to that of Euclidean geometry, only that you get to explore 3 dimensional and 4 dimensional spaces rather than just 2 dimensional spaces.
