    Introduction To Hyperbolic Geometry

    This document provides an introduction to hyperbolic geometry. It discusses how Euclid established the 5 postulates of geometry in 300 BC, with the 5th postulate causing problems. In the 19th century, Bolyai, Lobachevsky, Gauss and Klein developed non-Euclidean geometry by proposing spaces where the interior angles of a triangle sum to less than 180 degrees. The document covers Riemann's work on hyperbolic manifolds and how in 1997 Daina Taimina created a model of hyperbolic space using crocheted fabric. It concludes by thanking the audience and providing contact information.
