Langevin simulations of protoplasmic streaming in non-Euclidean geometry

Spatial Analysis in curved spaces with Non-Euclidean Geometry

The ultimate goal of spatial information, both as part of technology and as science, is to answer questions and issues related to space, place, and location. Therefore, geometry is widely used for description, storage, and analysis. Undoubtedly, one of the most essential features of spatial information is geometric features, and one of the most obvious types of analysis is the geometric type an...

Euclidean Geometry before non-Euclidean Geometry

In [3], in my argument for the primacy of Euclidean geometry on the basis of rigid motions and the existence of similar but non-congruent triangles, I wrote the following: A: “The mobility of rigid objects is now recognized as one of the things every normal human child learns in infancy, and this learning appears to be part of our biological progaramming.” B. “. . . we are all used to thinking ...

Beltrami’s Models of Non-euclidean Geometry

In two articles published in 1868 and 1869, Eugenio Beltrami provided three models in Euclidean plane (or space) for non-Euclidean geometry. Our main aim here is giving an extensive account of the two articles’ content. We will also try to understand how the way Beltrami, especially in the first article, develops his theory depends on a changing attitude with regards to the definition of surfac...
