Matching Pairs Geometry TriviaOnline version Introduction to Geometry Activity by Christine Jenkins 1 He brought the geometric knowledge of the Egyptians to the Greeks and was the first to attempt to justify geometric statements using reason instead of intuition and experimentation. 2 They demonstrated a practical knowledge of geometry through surveying and construction projects. (The Nile river overflowed very year, and the river banks would have to be re-surveyed). 3 deals with the relationships between geometric figures and the images (or mappings) that result from projecting them onto another surface (examples: shadows cast by objects and movies displayed on screens) 4 the most commonly known geometry (what is taught in schools, particularly in lower grades) 5 He is responsible for the most recent development in geometry (fractal geometry). 6 an extension of Euclid's principles of geometry to 3 dimensional objects (also called hyperbolic or elliptic geometry) 7 An example of this would be a geometry based on the graphics displayed on a computer screen, where the pixels are considered to be the points. 8 where the earliest use of Geometry was found 9 study of geometric figures and constructions using a coordinate system 10 He discovered the connection between algebra and geometry. 11 author of Elements; considered the father of Geometry 12 A Greek mathematician who developed coordinate geometry and derived the formula for the area of a circle 13 branch of geometry that studies planes, lines and surfaces in a 3 dimensional space using the principles of calculus 14 Their discoveries include curves, area of surfaces, and volumes of solids. They went from a trial and error thought process to logical deductions.
