11 Neutral Geometry III (Comparing geometries we`ve studied)
... Let’s compare the new geometries we’ve studied with the rules we’ve set up for “neutral” geometry. Let’s start with spherical geometry. All of the definitions and common notions apply— once we identiy “straight line” with geodesics—because without these ultra basic concepts we’d really be at a loss. ...
