Nikolai Lobachevsky

Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky (Russian: Никола́й Ива́нович Лобаче́вский, IPA: [nʲikɐˈlaj ɪˈvanəvʲɪtɕ ləbɐˈtɕɛfskʲɪj]; 1 December [O.S. 20 November] 1792 – 24 February [O.S. 12 February] 1856) was a Russian mathematician and geometer, known primarily for his work on hyperbolic geometry, otherwise known as Lobachevskian geometry, and also for his fundamental study on Dirichlet integrals, known as the Lobachevsky integral formula. William Kingdon Clifford called Lobachevsky the "Copernicus of Geometry" due to the revolutionary character of his work. (Wikipedia).

The History of Non-Euclidean Geometry - A Most Terrible Possibility - Extra History - #4

In the early 19th century, people started to wonder if the Fifth Postulate couldn't be proven at all--meaning that it could be right, but it could also be wrong. Bolyai, Lobachevsky, and Riemann started exploring hyperbolic geometry and other strange realms... Support us on Patreon! http:/

Trigonometric dual laws and the Parallax formula | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 32 | NJ Wildberger

This video introduces a simple universal analog (called the Right parallax formula) to the Angle of parallelism formula found by N. Lobachevsky and J. Bolyai in classical hyperbolic geometry. First we establish the dual laws of the main trigonometric laws for Universal Hyperbolic Geometry
