Geometry

=Geometry=

Geometry is the study of objects in space (which should not construed as only three-dimensional space). Geometry studies the properties of these objects and how to compare them to other objects. Elementary geometry is often seen as a study of how shapes are classified as well as an introduction to key terms and phrases used in future geometry. It is in geometry that a beginning of the concepts of proof are pictorially displayed and often taught.
