Basic Concepts of Geometry

Geometry is the second pre-modern way of mathematics, and it consists in shapes. How did it all begin though? Who made it? Why?

Geometry began with the need to measure shapes. It was based on wanting to measure the earth and it's the science of the shape of things. The first Egyptian pyramid was built based on early geometry, back in 2900 BC, when people were still studying it. Geometry made people fall in concern about lenght, volume and width too. 

Euler and Gauss led to the creation of topology and differential geometry, which are branches of geometry. Topology is to have no clear distinction between physical space and geometrical space. Differental Geometry is a mathematical discipline that uses the techniques of differential calculus and integral calculus, as well as linear algebra and multilinear algebra.
