  • A Comparison of Differential Calculus and Differential Geometry in Two
    1 A Two-Dimensional Comparison of Differential Calculus and Differential Geometry Andrew Grossfield, Ph.D Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology Abstract and Introduction: Plane geometry is mainly the study of the properties of polygons and circles. Differential geometry is the study of curves that can be locally approximated by straight line segments. Differential calculus is the study of functions. These functions of calculus can be viewed as single-valued branches of curves in a coordinate system where the horizontal variable controls the vertical variable. In both studies the derivative multiplies incremental changes in the horizontal variable to yield incremental changes in the vertical variable and both studies possess the same rules of differentiation and integration. It seems that the two studies should be identical, that is, isomorphic. And, yet, students should be aware of important differences. In differential geometry, the horizontal and vertical units have the same dimensional units. In differential calculus the horizontal and vertical units are usually different, e.g., height vs. time. There are differences in the two studies with respect to the distance between points. In differential geometry, the Pythagorean slant distance formula prevails, while in the 2- dimensional plane of differential calculus there is no concept of slant distance. The derivative has a different meaning in each of the two subjects. In differential geometry, the slope of the tangent line determines the direction of the tangent line; that is, the angle with the horizontal axis. In differential calculus, there is no concept of direction; instead, the derivative describes a rate of change. In differential geometry the line described by the equation y = x subtends an angle, α, of 45° with the horizontal, but in calculus the linear relation, h = t, bears no concept of direction.

  • Can One Design a Geometry Engine? on the (Un) Decidability of Affine
    Noname manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Can one design a geometry engine? On the (un)decidability of certain affine Euclidean geometries Johann A. Makowsky Received: June 4, 2018/ Accepted: date Abstract We survey the status of decidabilty of the consequence relation in various ax- iomatizations of Euclidean geometry. We draw attention to a widely overlooked result by Martin Ziegler from 1980, which proves Tarski’s conjecture on the undecidability of finitely axiomatizable theories of fields. We elaborate on how to use Ziegler’s theorem to show that the consequence relations for the first order theory of the Hilbert plane and the Euclidean plane are undecidable. As new results we add: (A) The first order consequence relations for Wu’s orthogonal and metric geometries (Wen- Ts¨un Wu, 1984), and for the axiomatization of Origami geometry (J. Justin 1986, H. Huzita 1991) are undecidable. It was already known that the universal theory of Hilbert planes and Wu’s orthogonal geom- etry is decidable. We show here using elementary model theoretic tools that (B) the universal first order consequences of any geometric theory T of Pappian planes which is consistent with the analytic geometry of the reals is decidable. The techniques used were all known to experts in mathematical logic and geometry in the past but no detailed proofs are easily accessible for practitioners of symbolic computation or automated theorem proving.

Pour juger adkquatement le role de Riemann dans le developpement de la geometric differentielle sans etre influence outre mesure par sa reputation de trks grand mathematicien, nous devons &udier le contenu de ses travaux en geometric et prendre en consideration les reactions des autres mathematiciens au tours de trois an&es qui suivirent leur publication. Urn Riemann's Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der Differentialgeometrie richtig einzuschZtzen, ohne sich von seinem Ruf als bedeutender Mathematiker iiberm;issig beeindrucken zu lassen, ist es notwendig den Inhalt seiner geometrischen Schriften und die Haltung zeitgen&sischer Mathematiker unmittelbar nach ihrer Verijffentlichung zu untersuchen. On June 10, 1854, Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann read his probationary lecture, "iber die Hypothesen welche der Geometrie zu Grunde liegen," before the Philosophical Faculty at Gdttingen ill. His biographer, Dedekind [1892, 5491, reported that Riemann had worked hard to make the lecture understandable to nonmathematicians in the audience, and that the result was a masterpiece of presentation, in which the ideas were set forth clearly without the aid of analytic techniques.

  • Relativistic Spacetime Structure
    Relativistic Spacetime Structure Samuel C. Fletcher∗ Department of Philosophy University of Minnesota, Twin Cities & Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich August 12, 2019 Abstract I survey from a modern perspective what spacetime structure there is according to the general theory of relativity, and what of it determines what else. I describe in some detail both the “standard” and various alternative answers to these questions. Besides bringing many underexplored topics to the attention of philosophers of physics and of science, metaphysicians of science, and foundationally minded physicists, I also aim to cast other, more familiar ones in a new light. 1 Introduction and Scope In the broadest sense, spacetime structure consists in the totality of relations between events and processes described in a spacetime theory, including distance, duration, motion, and (more gener- ally) change. A spacetime theory can attribute more or less such structure, and some parts of that structure may determine other parts. The nature of these structures and their relations of determi- nation bear on the interpretation of the theory—what the world would be like if the theory were true (North, 2009). For example, the structures of spacetime might be taken as its ontological or conceptual posits, and the determination relations might indicate which of these structures is more fundamental (North, 2018). Different perspectives on these questions might also reveal structural similarities with other spacetime theories, providing the resources to articulate how the picture of the world that that theory provides is different (if at all) from what came before, and might be different from what is yet to come.1 ∗Juliusz Doboszewski, Laurenz Hudetz, Eleanor Knox, J.

  • A CONCISE MINI HISTORY of GEOMETRY 1. Origin And
    Kragujevac Journal of Mathematics Volume 38(1) (2014), Pages 5{21. A CONCISE MINI HISTORY OF GEOMETRY LEOPOLD VERSTRAELEN 1. Origin and development in Old Greece Mathematics was the crowning and lasting achievement of the ancient Greek cul- ture. To more or less extent, arithmetical and geometrical problems had been ex- plored already before, in several previous civilisations at various parts of the world, within a kind of practical mathematical scientific context. The knowledge which in particular as such first had been acquired in Mesopotamia and later on in Egypt, and the philosophical reflections on its meaning and its nature by \the Old Greeks", resulted in the sublime creation of mathematics as a characteristically abstract and deductive science. The name for this science, \mathematics", stems from the Greek language, and basically means \knowledge and understanding", and became of use in most other languages as well; realising however that, as a matter of fact, it is really an art to reach new knowledge and better understanding, the Dutch term for mathematics, \wiskunde", in translation: \the art to achieve wisdom", might be even more appropriate. For specimens of the human kind, \nature" essentially stands for their organised thoughts about sensations and perceptions of \their worlds outside and inside" and \doing mathematics" basically stands for their thoughtful living in \the universe" of their idealisations and abstractions of these sensations and perceptions. Or, as Stewart stated in the revised book \What is Mathematics?" of Courant and Robbins: \Mathematics links the abstract world of mental concepts to the real world of physical things without being located completely in either".

  • 3 Analytic Geometry
    3 Analytic Geometry 3.1 The Cartesian Co-ordinate System Pure Euclidean geometry in the style of Euclid and Hilbert is what we call synthetic: axiomatic, with- out co-ordinates or explicit formulæ for length, area, volume, etc. Nowadays, the practice of ele- mentary geometry is almost entirely analytic: reliant on algebra, co-ordinates, vectors, etc. The major breakthrough came courtesy of Rene´ Descartes (1596–1650) and Pierre de Fermat (1601/16071–1655), whose introduction of an axis, a fixed reference ruler against which objects could be measured using co-ordinates, allowed them to apply the Islamic invention of algebra to geometry, resulting in more efficient computations. The new geometry was revolutionary, so much so that Descartes felt the need to justify his argu- ments using synthetic geometry, lest no-one believe his work! This attitude persisted for some time: when Issac Newton published his groundbreaking Principia in 1687, his presentation was largely syn- thetic, even though he had used co-ordinates in his derivations. Synthetic geometry is not without its benefits—many results are much cleaner, and analytic geometry presents its own logical difficulties— but, as time has passed, its study has become something of a fringe activity: co-ordinates are simply too useful to ignore! Given that Cartesian geometry is the primary form we learn in grade-school, we merely sketch the familiar ideas of co-ordinates and vectors. • Assume everything necessary about on the real line. continuity y 3 • Perpendicular axes meet at the origin. P 2 • The Cartesian co-ordinates of a point P are measured by project- ing onto the axes: in the picture, P has co-ordinates (1, 2), often 1 written simply as P = (1, 2).

  • Synthetic and Analytic Geometry
    CHAPTER I SYNTHETIC AND ANALYTIC GEOMETRY The purpose of this chapter is to review some basic facts from classical deductive geometry and coordinate geometry from slightly more advanced viewpoints. The latter reflect the approaches taken in subsequent chapters of these notes. 1. Axioms for Euclidean geometry During the 19th century, mathematicians recognized that the logical foundations of their subject had to be re-examined and strengthened. In particular, it was very apparent that the axiomatic setting for geometry in Euclid's Elements requires nontrivial modifications. Several ways of doing this were worked out by the end of the century, and in 1900 D. Hilbert1 (1862{1943) gave a definitive account of the modern foundations in his highly influential book, Foundations of Geometry. Mathematical theories begin with primitive concepts, which are not formally defined, and as- sumptions or axioms which describe the basic relations among the concepts. In Hilbert's setting there are six primitive concepts: Points, lines, the notion of one point lying between two others (betweenness), congruence of segments (same distances between the endpoints) and congruence of angles (same angular measurement in degrees or radians). The axioms on these undefined concepts are divided into five classes: Incidence, order, congruence, parallelism and continuity. One notable feature of this classification is that only one class (congruence) requires the use of all six primitive concepts. More precisely, the concepts needed for the axiom classes are given as follows: Axiom class Concepts required Incidence Point, line, plane Order Point, line, plane, betweenness Congruence All six Parallelism Point, line, plane Continuity Point, line, plane, betweenness Strictly speaking, Hilbert's treatment of continuity involves congruence of segments, but the continuity axiom may be formulated without this concept (see Forder, Foundations of Euclidean Geometry, p.

  • A Survey of the Development of Geometry up to 1870
    A Survey of the Development of Geometry up to 1870∗ Eldar Straume Department of mathematical sciences Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) N-9471 Trondheim, Norway September 4, 2014 Abstract This is an expository treatise on the development of the classical ge- ometries, starting from the origins of Euclidean geometry a few centuries BC up to around 1870. At this time classical differential geometry came to an end, and the Riemannian geometric approach started to be developed. Moreover, the discovery of non-Euclidean geometry, about 40 years earlier, had just been demonstrated to be a ”true” geometry on the same footing as Euclidean geometry. These were radically new ideas, but henceforth the importance of the topic became gradually realized. As a consequence, the conventional attitude to the basic geometric questions, including the possible geometric structure of the physical space, was challenged, and foundational problems became an important issue during the following decades. Such a basic understanding of the status of geometry around 1870 enables one to study the geometric works of Sophus Lie and Felix Klein at the beginning of their career in the appropriate historical perspective. arXiv:1409.1140v1 [math.HO] 3 Sep 2014 Contents 1 Euclideangeometry,thesourceofallgeometries 3 1.1 Earlygeometryandtheroleoftherealnumbers . 4 1.1.1 Geometric algebra, constructivism, and the real numbers 7 1.1.2 Thedownfalloftheancientgeometry . 8 ∗This monograph was written up in 2008-2009, as a preparation to the further study of the early geometrical works of Sophus Lie and Felix Klein at the beginning of their career around 1870.

Available at: https://scholar.rose-hulman.edu/rhumj/vol7/iss1/2 Differential Geometry of Manifolds with Density Ivan Corwin, Neil Hoffman, Stephanie Hurder, Vojislav Seˇsum,Yaˇ Xu February 1, 2006 Abstract We describe extensions of several key concepts of differential geometry to manifolds with density, including curvature, the Gauss-Bonnet theorem and formula, geodesics, and constant curvature surfaces. 1 Introduction Riemannian manifolds with density, such as quotients of Riemannian manifolds or Gauss space, of much interest to probabilists, merit more general study. Generalization of mean and Ricci curvature to manifolds with density has been considered by Gromov ([Gr], Section 9.4E), Bakry and Emery,´ and Bayle; see Bayle [Bay]. We consider smooth Riemannian manifolds with a smooth positive density eϕ(x) used to weight volume and perimeter. Manifolds with density arise in physics when considering sur- faces or regions with differing physical density. An example of an important two-dimensional surface with density is the Gauss plane, a Euclidean plane with volume and length weighted by (2π)−1e−r2/2, where r is the distance from the origin. In general, for a manifold with density, in terms of the underlying Riemannian volume dV and perimeter dP , the new weighted volume and area are given by ϕ dVϕ = e dV ϕ dPϕ = e dP.
