that we need to understand axioms of geometry
For

What we know is Euclidean Geometry which Flat or No

Curvature For example analytic geometry in 2dimensions

is a plane

we have in this geometry axioms givenby Euclid


For example can drown a 0 at a
ft and given
you
a radius Now between two points you have a uniquestraight

hire Given a hire and a point not on the line another

hire which is unique and does not intersect the givenline

however we extend it This is known as Ill line axioms

Some Conculsion like angles of 0 make 188 and various


isociellen O and similar
theorems
of equilateraltriangles
us eh the axioms of geometry given byEuclid
follow from

But we cannot Stop with only Euldean Geometry


We have surface of a sphere like forexample earth
Where Euclidean Geometry is not followed

y
Now we Cangive in R

Now thisgeometry also hers a measurement of distances

CY Gacy

Now this distance between neighbouringpoints canbe extendedAlingangane

For
Forexample

that we parametrize

and integrate f ds LCP
p
Now in Euclidean geometry the shortest such distance is Straightline

We characterize the distancebetween neighbour'gpoints through


a metric we write
ds dx t gyydy
g
t and we can write in matrix
Where
gyp 1 Gyy

Ff

ds dx dy day

gyu is a matrix which is known as metric


Now we can do some changes in the plan for our coordinates

L E
where r e Tty O tan M
to the inverse transformation I
a r and y a find

Mesic on terms of r and O n polarcoordinates


ds dr t 22 do
This is easy to
get from dx dy by using
But since a different Gowinates are hosed we can givemetric

Now metric is

INecanato do other transformations so that we get offdiag

For example de da does t da

spherical polar coordinates

There are other possible coordinates

Now in 123 we can a have a Surfae like se txItx3 R

R is Radius of Sphere This surface is Sphere and 2 dimensional

and a curved Space different from R I dimensional flatspace


We call this space 52 an Non Euclidean 2 dimensional Space
It will not obey Euclidean axioms But wecan define
distance between two points neighbouring points as

ds R'I do't Sino dy

Wecan even take the Radius R to be I


Then we have di do'tSino dy

To get what we have to do is


taken in RB embed the sphere in 3 dimensions

with metric ds's dritdaitdog


with the condition se toe 25 1

get ds do't Sin'd de


So the metric on the Surface which is not flat is

Using this metric and latitude longitude of 2 points

on the Surface of each we can get the distance beta

a 2 dimensional space sphere

go to a space which is not curved
but flat obeying Euclidean axioms This kind of analysis of
2 dimensional Spaces Which are Curved Non Euclidean was done
Gauss
by
Now the profound question is Is the span we are living
in 3 dimensional no doubt
But is it flat or curved How do we geneneralize

What Gauss did to 3 dimensional and higherdimensional


Spaces

For example is it like 53

Then we have to embed the three coordinates in higherdinsional


Spae with Condition for example Kitai 237 4 1

H X2 K
Xy E RT
This visualisation of higher dimensional spae is difficult
So can we understand our 3 dimensional Space is curved

by doing experiments in 3dam itself


As long as we know

ds I

g d ride

From this we can find out whether our Spaceis


gofall
curved Euclidean or non Euclidean
flat or

Such an argument was provided thy Riemann who was

Student of Gums
He
gave
the axiom of non Euclidean Geometry which later
was generalized and used by Einstein for his generalrelativity
We need Special relativity
