who is the father of ancient and modern geometry?

Answer 1

Euclid is canonically considered the father of geometry, and thus the father of ancient geometry. However, the father of modern geometry isn't a title typically given to one particular person. It has been given to:

Euclid
Thales
Monges
*Descartes
*Lobatchevsky
Bolyai
Riemann
*Chern

I've starred the three that seem most important to me.

Please note that Riemann did not invent multidimensional geometry, nor did he invent non-Euclidean geometry. He extended differential geometry to high dimensions and came up with a new multidimensional geometry, but his was not the first. The answerer above is misinformed.

Answer 2

Euclid defined the parameters of many geometric realizations ,including conical volumes and sections, as well as area formulas for most shapes defined by panels and lines, or object cells, probably simpler just to call them ordered parameter figures, many worked on "modern theories" Descartes created calculus which is definatively applicable to geometry, symbolic systems for shape description and measurement go back to ancient Egypt. To modern disciplines of energy geometrics. Newer disciplines include Fractal Geometry, you may or may not be able to find find it's creator, as well as Differential and Matrix Geometries. There were also many Cristian, Muslim, and Hindu theorists. Modern sub-disciplines include literal measurements within changing forms, a fractal derivative. sometimes called morphometry, and large scale interlinked structures, or relative geometry. there are many modern disciplines they are constantly evolving, and in this state it is hard to define what modern geometry really is, there are many applicable formulas that can be studied with considerable reward.

Answer 3

No unique answer for this question. mathematics originates with numbers (arithmetics). The idea of numbers started when human settlements started, when they started farming. They wanted to know the number of animals possessed by a particular group. They noticed that animals (cows, goats, buffaloes, etc.) let out for feeding are getting reduced by size. So a sort of one-to-one correspondence method was applied without knowing it as a principle. It was just keeping a small stone corresponding to one animal going out, so that finally the number of stones will be equal to the number of animals going out. When they return after feeding the stones will be removed. If now both the numbers do not agree, they understand some animals are missing, and they go for searching. These stones slowly replaced by markings, and markings derived certain forms, which represented the numbers later. This process took part in several parts of the world, hence different numerals. Even some of the animals have a knowledge about numbers, it has been scientifically proven. Vedas in India are very old (Rigveda, the oldest was composed about 1500 BC) and have mathematical references in it. It was Astrology which was developed by earlier workers.

Answer 4

Clearly Euclid for ancient geometry. For modern geometry, I would say Reimann, who invented multi-dimensional non-euclidian geometry.

Answer 5

note
Euclid

Robert Hooke 1635 - 1703 - The Inspirational Father of Modern Science

Answer 6

Euclid for Modern Geometry...
Descartes also comes in...
Thales for old times...Pythagorus...too

Answer 7

Euclid

Answer 8

Euclid.

Answer 9

Euclid, as in euclidian geometry.

Answer 10

modern geometry or just geometry????
