Geometry

Geometry (Hebrew: הֶגֶּל, Hegel; Greek: γεωμετρία, geōmetría; Arabic: هندسة, Hindasah; Latin: geometria) is a branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, solids, and higher-dimensional analogs. It is one of the oldest scientific disciplines, with its origins in early measurements of Earth, and has played a significant role in the development of various fields such as art, architecture, engineering, physics, and astronomy. Geometry is broadly divided into two main categories: plane geometry, which deals with objects in a two-dimensional plane, and solid geometry, which focuses on three-dimensional objects. Additionally, there are other specialized branches like analytic geometry, which uses coordinate systems and algebraic equations to study geometric properties, and differential geometry, which applies calculus to the study of curves and surfaces.
