  • it's not what geometry is, but what you Do with it that makes geometry more than just shapes. Your not studying shapes, your learning dimensions of it, if you take them together you can make something out of it.. Build something with the math of it. But many like to think ANY math is useless.. but planes fly and buildings defy gravity because of geometry and where they chose to apply it. It's boring when your young.. it worth it when you go to college
  • I attended tbe beginning of a geometry course at university. I thought that geometry was just shapes and vector arithmetic in space, just like it was in school. Yes, the first lecture began by showing that there are five platonic solids - just like the geometry I was expecting. Except the lecturer proved it by finding the automorphisms of the special orthogonal group. Or somthing like that. By half way through the the very first lecture I was completely lost, and had to drop the course. No wonder there were only six or seven people attending!
  • All I've ever really used geometry for is graphing and understanding how to set up different problems or proving different theorems. It really helps to have a decent understanding of it though, and my use (or lack thereof) of geometry is only due to the fact that I'm just finishing calc II (at my college it's calc II and III, for clarification). I'm sure it will become infinitely more useful in the near future.
  • well, geometry his only polygons and polyhedrons.
  • There is is more to it, it was part of ancient cosmology as illustrated here: http://sarsen56.wordpress.com/solve-this/
  • It's an angle of math. lol. The sum of the hypotenuse.
  • i think geometry is controlling math with shapes and more having a command of mathemathics
  • You might say there is a lot more to it, not just the math’s but in some cases a cosmology, see: http://www.solvingstonehenge.com
