... A geometry (one of the many different geometries) came to be seen as one particular set of undefined terms and basic postulates. The postulates specify the relations between the terms. Why "undefined terms"? Euclid's definitions of "point," "line," "surface," and so on are not very clear anyway. Wha ...

... and 3 that come from reflections. How do we know that those are all of the symmetries? We can pick a vertex. Then, face up, we have three choices of where to put the vertex back and face down we have another three choices. What’s nice is that all 6 of these motions are generated by 1 rotation of 120 ...

History of geometry
Geometry (from the Ancient Greek: γεωμετρία; geo- ""earth"", -metron ""measurement"") arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers (arithmetic).Classic geometry was focused in compass and straightedge constructions. Geometry was revolutionized by Euclid, who introduced mathematical rigor and the axiomatic method still in use today. His book, The Elements is widely considered the most influential textbook of all time, and was known to all educated people in the West until the middle of the 20th century.In modern times, geometric concepts have been generalized to a high level of abstraction and complexity, and have been subjected to the methods of calculus and abstract algebra, so that many modern branches of the field are barely recognizable as the descendants of early geometry.
