One geometry cannot be more true than another; it can only be more convenient. Geometry is not true, it is advantageous.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Geometry is not true, it is advantageous.
Not that the propositions of geometry are only approximately true, but that they remain absolutely true in regard to that Euclidean space which has been so long regarded as being the physical space of our experience.
I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for, the human intellect.
It has adopted the geometry most advantageous to the species or, in other words, the most convenient.
The power of mathematics is often to change one thing into another, to change geometry into language.
The early study of Euclid made me a hater of geometry.
Projective geometry is all geometry.
Plane geometry is sort of the key course where you learn about proving things and abstraction.
There is still a difference between something and nothing, but it is purely geometrical and there is nothing behind the geometry.
You can't criticize geometry. It's never wrong.
