Euclidean plane isometry

In geometry, a Euclidean plane isometry is an isometry of the Euclidean plane, or more informally, a way of transforming the plane that preserves geometrical properties such as length. There are four types: translations, rotations, reflections, and glide reflections (see below under classification of Euclidean plane isometries). The set of Euclidean plane isometries forms a group under composition: the Euclidean group in two dimensions. It is generated by reflections in lines, and every element of the Euclidean group is the composite of at most three distinct reflections. (Wikipedia).

Isometry groups of the projective line (II) | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 139 | NJ Wildberger

In this video we show that the algebraic approach to the metrical structure of the projective line, including the group of isometries including rotations and reflections, can all be defined and studied over a finite field. This is quite a remarkable fact. It leads us to think that perhaps

Isometry groups of the projective line (I) | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 138 | NJ Wildberger

The projective line can be given a Euclidean structure, just as the affine line can, but it is a bit more complicated. The algebraic structure of this projective line supports some symmetries. Symmetry in mathematics is often most efficiently encoded with the idea of a group--a technical t

Isometry groups of the projective line III | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 140 | NJ Wildberger

We extend our discussion of elementary metrical projective geometry in one dimension to incorporate Einstein's special theory of relativity. This remarkable new understanding of Einstein transformed much of 20th century physics, but its effect on pure mathematics has been surprisingly mode

The circle and projective homogeneous coordinates (cont.) | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 7b

Universal hyperbolic geometry is based on projective geometry. This video introduces this important subject, which these days is sadly absent from most undergrad/college curriculums. We adopt the 19th century view of a projective space as the space of one-dimensional subspaces of an affine

Geometry: Introduction to Triangles - Isosceles Triangle, Scalene Triangle, and more

A quick introduction to triangles. Triangles can be described by the lengths of their sides (equilateral, isosceles, and scalene) or by the sizes of their angles (acute angles, right angles, and obtuse angles). To learn more Geometry, you can watch our playlist from the beginning: https

What are collinear points

👉 Learn essential definitions of points, lines, and planes. A point defines a position in space. A line is a set of points. A line can be created by a minimum of two points. A plane is a flat surface made up of at least three points. A plane contains infinite number of lines. A ray is a li
