PlanetMath: geometry (4225 words)
Geometry, or literally, the measurement of land, is among the oldest and largest areas of mathematics.
Early differential geometers studied such properties of curves and surfaces such as: computing their lengths and areas, finding tangents, constructing evolute, involute, and pedal curves, studying curvature and osculating circles, and finding envelopes and orthogonal curves to a given family of curves.
The discovery of intrinsic geometry led thoughtful geometers such as Riemann (who was a student of Gauss), Clifford, and Mach to the conclusion that a “right and natural” approach to geometry should regard surfaces as geometrical spaces in their own right on a par with Euclidean and projective space.
