Those who teach Geometry should have some knowledge of this subject, and all who are interested in Mathematics will find much to stimulate them and much for them to enjoy in the novel results and views that it presents. This book is an attempt to give a simple and direct account of the Non-Euclidean Geometry, and one which presupposes but little knowledge of Mathematics. The first three chapters assume a knowledge of only Plane and Solid Geometry and Trigonometry, and the entire book can be read by one who has taken the mathematical courses commonly given in our colleges. No special claim to originality can be made for what is published here. The propositions have long been established, and in various ways. Some of the proofs may be new, but others, as already given by writers on this subject, could not be improved. These have come to me chiefly through the translations of Professor George Bruce Halsted of the University of Texas. I am particularly indebted to my friend, Arnold B.~Chace, Sc.D., of Valley Falls, R.~I., with whom I have studied and discussed the subject.\medskip \hfill HENRY P.~MANNING. {\footnotesize \textsc{Providence}, January, 1901.} %% CONTENTS %% INTRODUCTION %% CHAPTER I: PANGEOMETRY %% I.

Not only were the axioms to which we have been accustomed found to agree with our experience, but it was believed that we could not reason on the supposition that any of them are not true, it has been shown, however, that it is possible to take a set of axioms, wholly or in part contradicting those of Euclid, and build up a Geometry as consistent as his. We shall give the two most important Non-Euclidean Geometries.\footnote{See Historical Note, p.~\pageref{histnote}.} In these the axioms and definitions are taken as in Euclid, with the exception of those relating to parallel lines. Omitting the axiom on parallels,\footnote{See p.~\pageref{3hypos}.} we are led to three hypotheses; one of these establishes the Geometry of Euclid, while each of the other two gives us a series of propositions both interesting and useful. Indeed, as long as we can examine but a limited portion of the universe, it is not possible to prove that the system of Euclid is true, rather than one of the two Non-Euclidean Geometries which we are about to describe. We shall adopt an arrangement which enables us to prove first the propositions common to the three Geometries, then to produce a series of propositions and the trigonometrical formulć for each of the two Geometries which differ from that of Euclid, and by analytical methods to derive some of their most striking properties. We do not propose to investigate directly the foundations of Geometry, nor even to point out all of the assumptions which have been made, consciously or unconsciously, in this study. Leaving undisturbed that which these Geometries have in common, we are free to fix our attention upon their differences. By a concrete exposition it may be possible to learn more of the nature of Geometry than from abstract theory alone. \newpage Thus we shall employ most of the terms of Geometry without repeating the definitions given in our text-books, and assume that the figures defined by these terms exist. In particular we assume: \smallskip \begin{enumerate} \item[I.] \emph{The existence of straight lines determined by any two points, and that the shortest path between two points is a straight line.} \item[II.] \emph{The existence of planes determined by any three points not in a straight line, and that a straight line joining any two points of a plane lies wholly in the plane.} \item[III.] \emph{That geometrical figures can be moved about without changing their shape or size.} \item[IV.] \emph{That a point moving along a line from one position to another passes through every point of the line between, and that a geometrical magnitude, for example, an angle, or the length of a portion of a line, varying from one value to another, passes through all intermediate values.} \end{enumerate} In some of the propositions the proof will be omitted or only the method of proof suggested, where the details can be supplied from our common text-books. \chapter{PANGEOMETRY} \section{Propositions Depending Only on the Principle of Superposition} \begin{description} \item[1.~Theorem.] \emph{If one straight line meets another, the sum of the adjacent angles formed is equal to two right angles.} \item[2.~Theorem.] \emph{If two straight lines intersect, the vertical angles are equal.} \item[3.~Theorem.] \emph{Two triangles are equal if they have a side and two adjacent angles, or two sides and the included angle, of one equal, respectively, to the corresponding parts of the other.} \item[4.~Theorem.] \emph{In an isosceles triangle the angles opposite the equal sides are equal.} Bisect the angle at the vertex and use (3). \item[5.~Theorem.] \emph{The perpendiculars erected at the middle points of the sides of a triangle meet in a point if two of them meet, and this point is the centre of a circle that can be drawn through the three vertices of the triangle.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=40mm]{fig01.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Suppose $EO$ and $FO$ meet at $O$. The triangles $AFO$ and $BFO$ are equal by (3). Also, $AEO$ and $CEO$ are equal. Hence, $CO$ and $BO$ are equal, being each equal to $AO$. The triangle $BCO$ is, therefore, isosceles, and $OD$ if drawn bisecting the angle $BOC$ will be perpendicular to $BC$ at its middle point. \item[6.~Theorem.] \emph{In a circle the radius bisecting an angle at the centre is perpendicular to the chord which subtends the angle and bisects this chord.} \item[7.~Theorem.] \emph{Angles at the centre of a circle are proportional to the intercepted arcs and may be measured by them.} \item[8.~Theorem.] \emph{From any point without a line a perpendicular to the line can be drawn.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=20mm]{fig02.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Let $P'$ be the position which $P$ would take if the plane were revolved about $AB$ into coincidence with itself. The straight line $PP'$ is then perpendicular to $AB$. \item[9.~Theorem.] \emph{If oblique lines drawn from a point in a perpendicular to a line cut off equal distances from the foot of the perpendicular, they are equal and make equal angles with the line and with the perpendicular.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=50mm]{fig03.png} \end{figure} \item[10.~Theorem.] \emph{If two lines cut a third at the same angle, that is, so that corresponding angles are equal, a line can be drawn that is perpendicular to both.} \textbf{Proof.} Let the angles $FMB$ and $MND$ be equal, and through $H$, the middle point of $MN$, draw $LK$ perpendicular to $CD$; then $LK$ will also be perpendicular to $AB$. For the two triangles $LMH$ and $KNH$ are equal by (3). \item[11.~Theorem.] \emph{If two equal lines in a plane are erected perpendicular to a given line, the line joining their extremities makes equal angles with them and is bisected at right angles by a third perpendicular erected midway between them.} \newpage \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=40mm]{fig04.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Let} $AC$ and $BD$ be perpendicular to $AB$, and suppose $AC$ and $BD$ equal. The angles at $C$ and $D$ made with a line joining these two points are equal, and the perpendicular $HK$ erected at the middle point of $AB$ is perpendicular to $CD$ at its middle point. Proved by superposition. \item[12.~Theorem.] \emph{Given as in the last proposition two perpendiculars and a third perpendicular erected midway between them; any line cutting this third perpendicular at right angles, if it cuts the first two at all, will cut off equal lengths on them and make equal angles with them.} Proved by superposition. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=40mm]{fig05.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Corollary.} \emph{The last two propositions hold true if the angles at $A$ and $B$ are equal acute or equal obtuse angles, $HK$ being perpendicular to $AB$ at its middle point. If $AC = BD$, the angles at $C$ and $D$ are equal, and $HK$ is perpendicular to $CD$ at its middle point: or, if $CD$ is perpendicular to $HK$ at any point, $K$, and intersects $AC$ and $BD$, it it will cut off equal distances on these two lines and make equal angles with them.} \end{description} \section{Propositions Which Are True for Restricted Figures} The following propositions are true at least for figures whose lines do not exceed a certain length. That is, if there is any exception, it is in a case where we cannot apply the theorem or some step of the proof on account of the length of some of the lines. For convenience we shall use the word \emph{restricted} in this sense and say that a theorem is true for restricted figures or in any restricted portion of the plane. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=40mm]{fig06.png} \end{figure} \begin{description} \item[1.~Theorem.] \emph{The exterior angle of a triangle is greater than either opposite interior angle} (Euclid, I, 16). \textbf{Proof.} Draw $AD$ from $A$ to the middle point of the opposite side and produce it to $E$, making $DE = AD$. The two triangles $ADC$ and $EBD$ are equal, and the angle $FBD$, being greater than the angle $EBD$, is greater than $C$. \textbf{Corollary.} \emph{At least two angles of a triangle are acute.} \item[2.~Theorem.] \emph{If two angles of a triangle are equal, the opposite sides are equal and the triangle is isosceles.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=40mm]{fig07.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} The perpendicular erected at the middle point of the base divides the triangle into two figures which may be made to coincide and are equal. This perpendicular, therefore, passes through the vertex, and the two sides opposite the equal angles of the triangle are equal. \item[3.~Theorem.] \emph{In a triangle with unequal angles the side opposite the greater of the angles is greater than the side opposite the smaller; and conversely, if the sides of a triangle are unequal the opposite angles are unequal, and the greater angle lies opposite the greater side.} \item[4.~Theorem.] \emph{If two triangles have two sides of one equal, respectively, to two sides of the other, but the included angle of the first greater than the included angle of the second, the third side of the first is greater than the third side of the second; and conversely, if two triangles have two sides of one equal, respectively, to two sides of the other, but the third side of the first greater than the third side of the second, the angle opposite the third side of the first is greater than the angle opposite the third side of the second.} \item[5.~Theorem.] \emph{The sum of two lines drawn from any point to the extremities of a straight line is greater than the sum of two lines similarly drawn but included by them.} \item[6.~Theorem.] \emph{Through any point one perpendicular only can be drawn to a straight line.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=30mm]{fig08.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Let $P'$ be the position which $P$ would take if the plane were revolved about $AB$ into coincidence with itself. If we could have two perpendiculars, $PC$ and $PD$, from $P$ to $AB$, then $CP'$ and $DP'$ would be continuations of these lines and we should have two different straight lines joining $P$ and $P'$, which is impossible. \textbf{Corollary.} \emph{Two right triangles are equal when the hypothenuse and an acute angle of one are equal, respectively, to the hypothenuse and an acute angle of the other.} \item[7.~Theorem.] \emph{The perpendicular is the shortest line that can be drawn from a point to a straight line.} \textbf{Corollary.} \emph{In a right triangle the hypothenuse is greater than either of the two sides about the right angle.} \item[8.~Theorem.] \emph{If oblique lines drawn from a point in a perpendicular to a line cut off unequal distances from the foot of the perpendicular, they are unequal, and the more remote is the greater; and conversely, if two oblique lines drawn from a point in a perpendicular are unequal, the greater cuts off a greater distance from the foot of the perpendicular.} \item[9.~Theorem.] \emph{If a perpendicular is erected at the middle point of a straight line, any point not in the perpendicular is nearer that extremity of the line which is on the same side of the perpendicular.} \textbf{Corollary.} \emph{Two points equidistant from the extremities of a straight line determine a perpendicular to the line at its middle point.} \item[10.~Theorem.] \emph{Two triangles are equal when they have three sides of one equal, respectively, to three sides of the other.} \item[11.~Theorem.] \emph{If two lines in a plane erected perpendicular to a third are unequal, the line joining their extremities makes unequal angles with them, the greater angle with the shorter perpendicular.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=25mm]{fig09.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Suppose $AC > BD$. Produce $BD$, making $BE = AC$. Then $BEC = ACE$. But $BDC > BEC$, by (1), and $ACD$ is a part of $ACE$. Therefore, all the more $BDC > ACD$. \item[12.~Theorem.] \emph{If the two angles at $C$ and $D$ are equal, the perpendiculars are equal, and if the angles are unequal, the perpendiculars are unequal, and the longer perpendicular makes the smaller angle.} \newpage \item[13.~Theorem.] \emph{If two lines are perpendicular to a third, points on either equidistant from the third are equidistant from the other.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=30mm]{fig10.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Let $AB$ and $CD$ be perpendicular to $HK$, and on $CD$ take any two points, $C$ and $D$, equidistant from $K$; then $C$ and $D$ will be equidistant from $AB$. For by superposition we can make $D$ fall on $C$, and then $DB$ will coincide with $CA$ by (6). \end{description} \medskip The following propositions of Solid Geometry depend directly on the preceding and hold true at least for any restricted portion of space. \begin{description} \item[14.~Theorem.] \emph{If a line is perpendicular to two intersecting lines at their intersection, it is perpendicular to all lines of their plane passing through this point.} \item[15.~Theorem.] \emph{If two planes are perpendicular, a line drawn in one perpendicular to their intersection is perpendicular to the other, and a line drawn through any point of one perpendicular to the other lies entirely in the first.} \item[16.~Theorem.] \emph{If a line is perpendicular to a plane, any plane through that line is perpendicular to the plane.} \item[17.~Theorem.] \emph{If a plane is perpendicular to each of two intersecting planes, it is perpendicular to their intersection.} \end{description} \section{The Three Hypotheses} The angles at the extremities of two equal perpendiculars are either right angles, acute angles, or obtuse angles, at least for restricted figures. We shall distinguish the three cases by speaking of them as the hypothesis of the right angle, the hypothesis of the acute angle, and the hypothesis of the obtuse angle, respectively. \begin{description} \item[1.~Theorem.] \emph{The line joining the extremities of two equal perpendiculars is, at least for any restricted portion of the plane, equal to, greater than, or less than the line joining their feet in the three hypotheses, respectively.} \newpage \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=35mm]{fig11.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Let $AC$ and $BD$ be the two equal perpendiculars and $HK$ a third perpendicular erected at the middle point of $AB$. Then $HA$ and $KC$ are perpendicular to $HK$, and $KC$ is equal to, greater than, or less than $HA$, according as the angle at $C$ is equal to, less than, or greater than the angle at $A$ (II, 12). Hence, $CD$, the double of $KC$, is equal to, greater than, or less than $AB$ in the three hypotheses, respectively. \textbf{Conversely,} if $CD$ is given equal to, greater than, or less than $AB$, there is established for this figure the first, second, or third hypothesis, respectively. \textbf{Corollary.} \emph{If a quadrilateral has three right angles, the sides adjacent to the fourth angle are equal to, greater than, or less than the sides opposite them, according as the fourth angle is right, acute, or obtuse.} \item[2.~Theorem.] \emph{If the hypothesis of a right angle is true in a single case in any restricted portion of the plane, it holds true in every case and throughout the entire plane.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=75mm]{fig12.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} We have now a rectangle; that is, a quadrilateral with four right angles. By the corollary to the last proposition, its opposite sides are equal. Equal rectangles can be placed together so as to form a rectangle whose sides shall be any given multiples of the corresponding sides of the given rectangle. Now let $A'B'$ be any given line and $A'C'$ and $B'D'$ two equal lines perpendicular to $A'B'$ at its extremities. Divide $A'C'$, if necessary, into a number of equal parts so that one of these parts shall be less than $AC$, and on $AC$ and $BD$ lay off $AM$ and $BN$ equal to one of these parts, and draw $MN$. $ABNM$ is a rectangle; for otherwise $MN$ would be greater than or less than $AB$ and $CD$, and the angles at $M$ and $N$ would all be acute angles or all obtuse angles, which is impossible, since their sum is exactly four right angles. Again, divide $A'B'$ into a sufficient number of equal parts, lay off one of these parts on $AB$ and on $MN$, and form the rectangle $APQM$. Rectangles equal to this can be placed together so as exactly to cover the figure $A'B'D'C'$, which must therefore itself be a rectangle. \item[3.~Theorem.] \emph{If the hypothesis of the acute angle or the hypothesis of the obtuse angle holds true in a single case within a restricted portion of the plane, the same hypothesis holds true for every case within any such portion of the plane.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=35mm]{fig13.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Let $CD$ move along $AC$ and $BD$, always cutting off equal distances on these two lines; or, again, let $AC$ and $BD$ move along on the line $AB$ towards $HK$ or away from $HK$, always remaining perpendicular to $AB$ and their feet always at equal distances from $H$. The angles at $C$ and $D$ vary continuously and must therefore remain acute or obtuse, as the case may be, or at some point become right angles. There would then be established the hypothesis of the right angle, and the hypothesis of the acute angle or of the obtuse angle could not exist even in the single case supposed. The angles at $C$ and $D$ could not become zero nor $180^\circ$ in a restricted portion of the plane; for then the three lines $AC$, $CD$, and $BD$ would be one and the same straight line. \item[4.~Theorem.] \emph{The sum of the angles of a triangle, at least in any restricted portion of the plane, is equal to, less than, or greater than two right angles, in the three hypotheses, respectively.} \newpage \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig14.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Given any triangle, $ABD$ (Fig.~1), with right angle at $B$, draw $AC$ perpendicular to $AB$ and equal to $BD$. In the triangles $ADC$ and $DAB$, $AC=BD$ and $AD$ is common, but $DC$ is equal to, greater than, or less than $AB$ in the three hypotheses, respectively. Therefore, $DAC$ is equal to, greater than, or less than $ADB$ in the three hypotheses, respectively (II, 4). Adding $BAD$ to both of these angles, we have $ADB + BAD$ equal to, or greater than the right angle $BAC$. Now at least two angles of any restricted triangle are acute. The perpendicular, therefore, from the vertex of the third angle upon its opposite side will meet this side within the triangle and divide the triangle into two right triangles. Therefore, in any restricted triangle the sum of the angles is equal to, less than, or greater than two right angles in the three hypotheses, respectively. We will call the amount by which the angle-sum of a triangle exceeds two right angles its excess. The excess of a polygon of $n$ sides is the amount by which the sum of its angles exceeds $n-2$ times two right angles. It will not change the excess if we count as additional vertices any number of points on the sides, adding to the sum of the angles two right angles for each of these points. \item[5.~Theorem.] \emph{The excess of a polygon is equal to the sum of the excesses of any system of triangles into which it may be divided.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=30mm]{fig15.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} If we divide a polygon into two polygons by a straight or broken line, we may assume that the two points where it meets the boundary are vertices. If the dividing line is a broken line, broken at $p$ points, an the sides of the two polygons will be the sides of the original polygon, together with the $p+1$ parts into which the dividing line is separated by the $p$ points, each part counted twice. \textbf{Let} $S$ be the sum of the angles of the original polygon, and $n$ the number of its sides. Let $S'$ and $n'$, $S''$ and $n''$ have the same meanings for the two polygons into which it is divided. Then we have, writing $R$ for the right angle, \begin{align*} S' + S'' &= S + 4pR, \\ \intertext{and} n' + n'' &= n + 2(p+1). \\ \intertext{Therefore,} S' - 2(n'-2)R + S'' - 2(n''-2)R &= S + 4pR - 2(n+2p-2)R \\ &= S-2(n-2)R. \end{align*} Any system of triangles into which a polygon may be divided is produced by a sufficient number of repetitions of the above process. Always the excess of the polygon is equal to the sum of the excesses of the parts into which it is divided. We may extend the notion of excess and apply it to any combination of different portions of the plane hounded completely by straight lines. Instead of considering the sum of the angles of a polygon, we may take the sum of the exterior angles. The amount by which this sum falls short of four right angles equals the excess of the polygon. We may speak of it as the deficiency of the exterior angles. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=30mm]{fig16.png} \end{figure} The sum of the exterior angles is the amount by which we turn in going completely around the figure, turning at each vertex from one side to the next. If we are considering a combination of two or more polygons, we must traverse the entire boundary and so as always to have the area considered on one side, say on the left. \item[6.~Theorem.] \emph{The excess of polygons is always zero, always negative, or always positive.} \textbf{Proof.} We know that this theorem is true of restricted triangles, but any finite polygon may be divided into a finite number of such triangles, and by the last theorem the excess of the polygon is equal to the sum of the excesses of the triangles. When the excess is negative, we may call it deficiency, or speak of the excess of the exterior angles. \textbf{Corollary.} \emph{The excess of a polygon is numerically greater than the excess of any part which may be cut off from it by straight lines, except in the first hypothesis, when it is zero.} \end{description} \medskip The following theorems apply to the second and third hypotheses. \begin{description} \item[7.~Theorem.] \emph{By diminishing the sides of a triangle, or even one side while the other two remain less than some fixed length, we can diminish its area indefinitely, and the sum of its angles will approach two right angles as limit.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=50mm]{fig17.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Let $ABDC$ be a quadrilateral with three right angles, $A$, $B$, and $C$. A perpendicular moving along $AB$ will constantly increase or decrease; for if it could increase a part of the way and decrease a part of the way there would be different positions where the perpendiculars have the same length; a perpendicular midway between them would be perpendicular to $CD$ also, and we should have a rectangle. Divide $AB$ into $n$ equal parts, and draw perpendiculars through the points of division. The quadrilateral is divided into $n$ smaller quadrilaterals, which can be applied one to another, having a side and two adjacent right angles the same in all. Beginning at the end where the perpendicular is the shortest, each quadrilateral can be placed entirely within the next. Therefore, the first has its area less than $\nicefrac{1}{n}$th of the area of the original quadrilateral, and its deficiency or excess less than $\nicefrac{1}{n}$th of the deficiency or excess of the whole. Now any triangle whose sides are all less than $AC$ or $BD$, and one of whose sides is less than one of the subdivisions of $AB$, can be placed entirely within this smallest quadrilateral. Such a triangle has its area and its deficiency or excess less than $\nicefrac{1}{n}$th of the area and of the deficiency or excess of the original quadrilateral. Thus, a triangle has its area and deficiency or excess less than any assigned area and deficiency or excess, however small, if at least one side is taken sufficiently small, the other two sides not being indefinitely large. \newpage \item[8.~Theorem.] \emph{Two triangles having the same deficiency or excess have the same area.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=40mm]{fig18.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Let $AOB$ and $A'OB'$ have the same deficiency or excess and an angle of one equal to an angle of the other. If we place them together so that the equal angles coincide, the triangles will coincide and be entirely equal, or there will be a quadrilateral common to the two, and, besides this, two smaller triangles having an angle the same in both and the same deficiency or excess. Putting these together, we find again a quadrilateral common to both and a third pair of triangles having an angle the same in both and the same deficiency or excess. We may continue this process indefinitely, unless we come to a pair of triangles which coincide; for at no time can one triangle of a pair be contained entirely within the other, since they have the same deficiency or excess. Let $so$ denote the sum of the sides opposite the equal angles of the first two triangles, $sa$ the sum of the adjacent sides, and $s'a$ that portion of the adjacent sides counted twice, which is common to the two triangles when they are placed together. Writing $o'$ and $a'$ for the second pair of triangles, $o''$ and $a'$ for the third pair, etc., we have \begin{gather*} \begin{aligned} sa &= s'a + so', & so &= sa', \\ sa' &= s'a' + so'', & so' &= sa'', \\ sa'' &= s'a'' + so'''\text{, etc.} & so'' &= sa''' \text{, etc.} \end{aligned}\\ \begin{aligned} \therefore sa &= s'a + s'a'' + s'a^{IV} + \ldots, \\ sa' &= s'a' + s'a''' + s'a^{V} + \ldots. \end{aligned} \end{gather*} Therefore, the expressions $s'a$, $s'a'$, $s'a''$, $\cdots$ diminish indefinitely. Each of these is made up of a side counted twice from one and a side counted twice from the other of a pair of triangles. Thus, if we carry the process sufficiently far, the remaining triangles can be made to have at least one side as small as we please, while all the sides diminish and are less, for example, than the longest of the sides of the original triangles. Therefore, the areas of the remaining triangles diminish indefinitely, and as the difference of the areas remains the same for each pair of triangles, this difference must be zero. The triangles of each pair and, in particular, the first two triangles have the same area. \begin{figure}[ht] \centering \includegraphics[width=70mm]{fig19.png} \end{figure} Let $ABC$ and $DEF$ have the same deficiency or excess, and suppose $AC PC, &\therefore CD' &> 2CD,\\ PD' &> PC,\ \text{etc.;} & CD'' &> 3CD,\ \text{etc.} \end{align*} Again, in the three hypotheses, respectively, \begin{align*} CPD &\stackrel{=}{\lessgtr} \frac{\pi}{4}, &&\text{and}& CDP &\stackrel{=}{\lessgtr} \frac{\pi}{4},\\ DPD' &\stackrel{=}{\lessgtr} \tfrac{1}{2} CPD, &&& CD'P &\stackrel{=}{\lessgtr} \tfrac{1}{2} CDP,\\ D'PD'' &\stackrel{=}{\lessgtr} \tfrac{1}{2} DPD',\ \text{etc.,} &&& CD''P &\stackrel{=}{\lessgtr} \tfrac{1}{2} CD'P,\ \text{etc.} \end{align*} At $P$ we have a series of angles. In the first hypothesis there is an infinite number of these angles, and the series forms a geometrical progression of ratio $\nicefrac{1}{2}$, whose value is exactly $\nicefrac{\pi}{2}$. In the second hypothesis there is also an infinite number of these angles, and the terms of the series are less than the terms of the geometrical progression. The value of the series is, therefore, less than $\nicefrac{\pi}{2}$. In the third hypothesis we have a series whose terms are greater than those of the geometrical progression, and, therefore, whether the series is convergent or divergent, we can get more than $\nicefrac{\pi}{2}$ by taking a sufficient number of terms. In other words, we can get a right angle or more than a right angle at $P$ by repeating this process a certain finite number of times. The angles at $D$, $D'$, $D''$, $\cdots$ are exactly equal to the terms of the series of angles at $P$. In the first two hypotheses they approach zero as a limit. The distances $CD$, $CD'$, $CD''$, $\cdots$ increase each time by more than a definite quantity, $CD$; therefore, if we repeat the process an unlimited number of times, these distances will increase beyond all limit. Thus, in the first and second hypotheses we prove that a straight line must be of infinite length. In the hypothesis of the obtuse angle the line perpendicular to $PC$ at the point $P$ will intersect $CF$ in a point at a certain finite distance from $C$, one of the $D$'s, or some point between. On the other side of $PC$ this same perpendicular will intersect $FC$ produced at the same distance. But we have assumed that two different straight lines cannot intersect in two points; therefore, for us the third hypothesis cannot be true unless the straight line is of finite length returning into itself, and these two points are one and the same point, its distance from $C$ in either direction being one-half the entire length of the line. In this way, however, we can build up a consistent Geometry on the third hypothesis, and this Geometry it is which is called the Elliptic Geometry. The constructions would have been the same, and very nearly all the statements would have been the same, if we had taken $CD$ any arbitrary length on $CF$. The restriction which we have placed upon some of the propositions of this chapter is necessary in the third hypothesis. \newpage \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig26.png} \end{figure} Thus, in the proof that the exterior angle of a triangle is greater than the opposite interior angle, the line $AD$ drawn through the vertex $A$ to the middle point $D$ of the opposite side was produced so as to make $AE=2AD$. If $AD$ were greater than half the entire length of the straight line determined by $A$ and $D$, this would bring the point $E$ past the point $A$, and the angle $CBE$, which is equal to the angle $C$, instead of being a part of the exterior angle $CBF$, becomes greater than this exterior angle. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig27.png} \end{figure} Again, if two angles of a triangle are equal and the side between them is just an entire straight line, it does not follow necessarily that the opposite sides are equal. It may be said, however, that the opposite sides form one continuous line, and, therefore, this figure is not strictly a triangle, but a figure somewhat like a lune. The points $A$ and $B$ are the same point, and the angles $A$ and $B$ are vertical angles. Finally, though we assume that the shortest path between two points is a straight line, it is not always true that a straight line drawn between two points is the shortest path between them. We can pass from one point to another in two ways on a straight line; namely, over each of the two parts into which the two points divide the line determined by them. One of these parts will usually be shorter than the other, and the longer part will be longer than some paths along broken lines or curved lines. When, however, the straight line is of infinite length, that is, in the hypothesis of the right angle and in the hypothesis of the acute angle, all the propositions of this chapter hold without restriction. \medskip The Euclidean Geometry is familiar to all. We will now make a detailed study of the Geometry of Lobachevsky, and then take up in the same way the Elliptic Geometry. \chapter{THE HYPERBOLIC GEOMETRY} We have now the hypothesis of the acute angle. Two lines in a plane perpendicular to a third diverge on either side of their common perpendicular. The sum of the angles of a triangle is less than two right angles, and the propositions of the last chapter hold without restriction. \section{Parallel Lines} From any point, $P$, draw a perpendicular, $PC$, to a given line, $AB$, and let $PD$ be any other line from $P$ meeting $CB$ in $D$. If $D$ move off indefinitely on $CB$, the line $PD$ will approach a limiting position $PE$. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig28.png} \end{figure} $PE$ is said to be parallel to $CB$ at $P$. $PE$ makes with $PC$ an angle, $CPE$, which is called the angle of parallelism for the perpendicular distance $PC$. It is less than a right angle by an amount which is the limit of the deficiency of the triangle $PCD$. On the other side of $PC$ we can find another line parallel to $CA$ and making with $PC$ the same angle of parallelism. We say that $PE$ is parallel to $AB$ towards that part which is on the same side of $PC$ with $PE$. Thus, at any point there are two parallels to a line, but only one towards one part of the line. Lines through $P$ which make with $PC$ an angle greater than the angle of parallelism and less than its supplement do not meet $AB$ at all. We write $\Pi(p)$ to denote the angle of parallelism for a perpendicular distance, $p$. \begin{description} \item[1.~Theorem.] \emph{A straight line maintains its parallelism at all points.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig29.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Let} $AB$ be parallel to $CD$ at $E$ and let $F$ be any other point of $AB$ on either side of $E$, to prove that $AB$ is parallel to $CD$ at $F$. \textbf{Proof.} To $H$, on $CD$, draw $EH$ and $FH$. If $H$ move off indefinitely on $CD$, these two lines will approach positions of parallelism with $CD$. But the limiting position of $EH$ is the line $AB$ passing through $F$, and if the limiting position of $FH$ were some other line, $FK$, $F$ would be the limiting position of $H$, the intersection of $EH$ and $FH$. \item[2.~Theorem.] \emph{If one line is parallel to another, the second is parallel to the first.} \textbf{Given} $AB$ parallel to $CD$, to prove that $CD$ is parallel to $AB$. \textbf{Proof.} Draw $AC$ perpendicular to $CD$. The angle $CAB$ will be acute; therefore, the perpendicular $CE$ from $C$ to $AB$ must fall on that side of $A$ towards which the line $AB$ is parallel to $CD$ (Chap.~I, II, 1). The angle $ECD$ is then acute and less than $CEB$, which is a right angle. That is, we have \begin{equation*} CAB < ACD, \quad \text{and} \quad CEB > ECD. \end{equation*} If the line $CE$ revolve about the point $C$ to the position of $CA$, the angle at $E$ will decrease to the angle $A$, and the angle at $C$ will increase to a right angle. There will be some position, say $CF$, where these two angles become equal; that is, \begin{equation*} CFB = FCD. \end{equation*} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig30.png} \end{figure} Draw $MN$ perpendicular to $CF$ at its middle point and revolve the figure about $MN$ as an axis. $CD$ will fall upon the original position of $AB$, and $AB$ will fall upon the original position of $CD$. Therefore, $CD$ is parallel to $AB$. \textbf{Corollary.} \emph{$FB$ and $CD$ are both parallel to $MN$.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig31.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} $FB$ and $CD$ are symmetrically situated with respect to $MN$, and cannot intersect $MN$ since they do not intersect each other. Draw $FH$ to $H$, on $CD$, intersecting $MN$ in $K$. If $H$ move off indefinitely on $CD$, $FH$ will approach the position of $FB$ as a limit. Now $K$ cannot move off indefinitely before $H$ does, for $FK < FH$. But again, when $H$ moves off indefinitely, $K$ cannot approach some limiting position at a finite distance on $MN$; for $FB$, and therefore $CD$, would then intersect $MN$ and each other at this point. Therefore, $H$ and $K$ must move off together, and the limiting position of $FH$ must be at the same time parallel to $CD$ and $MN$. In the same way we can prove that any line lying in a plane between two parallels must intersect one of them or be parallel to both. \item[3.~Theorem.] \emph{Two lines parallel to a third towards the same part of the third are parallel to each other.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig32.png} \end{figure} \textbf{First,} when they are all in the same plane. \textbf{Let} $AB$ and $EF$ be parallel to $CD$, to prove that they are parallel to each other. \textbf{Proof.} Suppose $AB$ lies between the other two. To $H$, any point on $CD$, draw $AH$ and $EH$, and let $K$ be the point where $EH$ intersects $AB$. As $H$ moves off indefinitely on $CD$, $AH$ and $EH$ approach as limiting positions $AB$ and $EF$. Now $K$ cannot move off indefinitely before $H$ does, for $EK < EH$. But again, when H moves off indefinitely, $K$ cannot approach some limiting position at a finite distance on $AB$; for this point would be the intersection of $AB$ and $EF$, and the limiting position of $H$, whereas $H$ moves off indefinitely on $CD$. Therefore, $H$ and $K$ must move off together, and the limiting position of $EH$ must be at the same time parallel to $CD$ and $AB$. If $AB$, lying between the other two, is given parallel to $CD$ and $EF$, $EF$ must be parallel to $CD$; for a line through $E$ parallel to $CD$ would be parallel to $AB$, and only one line can be drawn through $E$ parallel to $AB$ towards the same part. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig33.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Second}, when the lines are not all in the same plane. \textbf{Let} $AB$ and $CD$ be two parallel lines and let $E$ be any point not in their plane. \textbf{Proof.} To $H$ on $CD$ draw, $AH$ and $EH$. As $H$ moves off indefinitely, $AH$ approaches the position of $AB$, and the plane $EAH$ the position of the plane $EAB$. Therefore, the limiting position of $EH$ is the intersection of the planes $ECD$ and $EAB$. The intersection of these planes is, then, parallel to $CD$, and in the same way we prove that it is parallel to $AB$. Now, if $EF$ is given as parallel to one of these two lines towards the part towards which they are parallel, it must be the intersection of the two planes determined by them and the point $E$, and therefore parallel to the other line also. \newpage \item[4.~Theorem.] \emph{Parallel lines continually approach each other.} \textbf{Let} $AB$ and $CD$ be parallel, and from $A$ and $B$, any points on $AB$, drop perpendiculars $AC$ and $BD$ to $CD$. Supposing that $B$ lies beyond $A$ in the direction of parallelism, we are to prove that $BD < AC$. \textbf{Proof.} At $H$, the middle point of $CD$, erect a perpendicular meeting $AB$ in $K$. The angle $BKH$ is an acute angle, and the angle $AKH$ is an obtuse angle. Therefore, a perpendicular to $HK$ at $K$ must meet $CA$ in some point, $E$, between $C$ and $A$ and $DB$ produced in some point, $F$, beyond $B$. But $DF = CE$ (Chap.~I, I, 12); therefore, $DB < CA$. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig34.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Corollary.} \emph{If $AB$ and $CD$ are parallel and $AC$ makes equal angles with them (like $FC$ in 2 above), then $EF$, cutting off equal distances on these two lines, $AE = CF$, on the side towards which, they are parallel, will be shorter than $AC$.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig35.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} $MN$, perpendicular to $AC$ at its middle point, is parallel to $AB$ and bisects $EF$, the figure being symmetrical with respect to $MN$. $EH$, the half of $EF$, is less than $AM$, and therefore $EF$ is less than $AC$. \item[5.~Theorem.] \emph{As the perpendicular distance varies, starting from zero and increasing indefinitely, the angle of parallelism decreases from a right angle to zero.} \textbf{Proof.} In the first place the angle of parallelism, which is acute as long as the perpendicular distance is positive, will be made to differ from a right angle by less than any assigned value if we take a perpendicular distance sufficiently small. \begin{figure}[ht] \centering \includegraphics[width=70mm]{fig36.png} \end{figure} For, $ADE$ being any given angle as near a right angle as we please, we can take a point, $L$, on $DE$ and draw $LR$ perpendicular to $DA$ at $R$. The angle $RDL$ must increase to become the angle of parallelism for the perpendicular distance $RD$. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=70mm]{fig37.png} \end{figure} Now let $p$ be the length of a given perpendicular $PM$, and let $\alpha$ be the amount by which its angle of parallelism differs from $\nicefrac{\pi}{2}$; that is, say \begin{equation*} \Pi(p) = \frac{\pi}{2} - \alpha. \end{equation*} $PM$, being perpendicular to $MN$, and $H$ any point on $MN$, the angle $MPH$ approaches as a limit the angle of parallelism, $\Pi(p)$, when $H$ moves off indefinitely on $MN$. The line $PH$ meets the line $MN$ as long as $MPH < \Pi(p)$, and by taking $MPH$ sufficiently near $\Pi(p)$, but less, we can make the angle $MHP$ as small as we please (see p.~\pageref{p27xref}). In figure on page~\pageref{p38fig}, let $AC$ be perpendicular to $AB$, $D$ being any point on $AC$ and $DE$ parallel to $AB$. Draw $DK$ beyond $DE$, making with $DE$ an angle, $EDK=\Pi(p)$, and make $DK = p$. $TF$, perpendicular to $DK$ at $K$, will be parallel to $DE$ and $AB$. By placing $PM$ of the last figure upon $DKT$, we see that $DC$ will meet $KT$ in a point, $G$ if \begin{gather*} KDC < \Pi(p), \\ \intertext{that is, if} ADE > 2\alpha. \end{gather*} \P~Then in the right triangle $DKG$, \begin{gather*} DGK + KDG < \frac{\pi}{2}. \\ \intertext{But} ADE + KDG = \frac{\pi}{2} + \alpha; \\ \intertext{therefore,} DGK < ADG - \alpha. \end{gather*} \label{p38fig}\begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig38.png} \end{figure} Starting from the point $G$, we can repeat this construction, and each time we subtract from the angle of parallelism an amount greater than $\alpha$. We can continue this process until the angle of parallelism becomes equal to or less than $2\alpha$. If the point $D$ move along $AC$, $DE$ remaining constantly parallel to $AB$, the angle at $D$ will constantly diminish, and by letting $D$ move sufficiently far on $AC$ we can reach a point where this angle becomes equal to or less than $2\alpha$. Suppose $D$ is at the point where the angle of parallelism is just $2\alpha$. Then, if we draw $DK$ and $TF$ as before, $KT$ will be parallel to $DC$. All the parallels to $AB$ lying between $AB$ and this position of $TF$ meet $AC$, and as the parallel moves towards this position of $TF$, the angle of parallelism at $D$ approaches zero, and the point $D$ moves off indefinitely. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=60mm]{fig39.png} \end{figure} For an obtuse angle we may take $p$ negative, and we have \begin{equation*} \Pi(-p) = \pi - \Pi(p). \end{equation*} \item[6.~Theorem.] \emph{The perpendiculars erected at the middle points of the sides of a triangle are all parallel if two of them are parallel.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=90mm]{fig40.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Let} $A$, $B$, and $C$ be the vertices of the triangle, and $D$, $E$, and $F$, respectively, the middle points of the opposite sides. Suppose the perpendiculars at $D$ and $E$ are given parallel, to prove that the perpendicular at $F$ is parallel to them. \textbf{Proof.} Draw $CM$ through $C$ parallel to the two given parallel perpendiculars. $CM$ forms with the two sides at $C$ angles of parallelism $\Pi\left(\dfrac{a}{2}\right)$ and $\Pi\left(\dfrac{b}{2}\right)$, of which the angle at $C$ is the sum or difference according as $C$ lies between the given perpendiculars or on the same side of both. By properly diminishing these angles at $C$, keeping the lengths of $CA$ and $CB$ unchanged, we can make the perpendiculars at their middle points $D$ and $E$ intersect $CM$, and therefore each other, at any distance from $C$ greater than $\nicefrac{a}{2}$ and greater than $\nicefrac{b}{2}$. Let $A'B'C'$ be the triangle so formed, $O$ the point where the two given perpendiculars meet, and $C'M'$ the line through $O$. In the triangle $A'B'C'$, the three perpendiculars meet at the point $O$ (Chap.~I, I, 5), Now we can let $O$ move off on $C'M'$, the construction remaining the same. That is, we let the lines $C'A'$ and $C'B'$ rotate about $C'$ without changing their lengths, in such a manner that the three perpendiculars $D'O$, $E'O$, and $F'O$ shall always pass through $O$. As $O$ moves off indefinitely, the angles at $C'$ approach $\Pi\left(\dfrac{a}{2}\right)$ and $\Pi\left(\dfrac{b}{2}\right)$ as limits, and the three perpendiculars approach positions of parallelism with $C'M'$ and with each other. But the triangle $A'B'C'$ approaches as a limit a triangle which is equal to $ABC$, having two sides and the included angle equal, respectively, to the corresponding parts of the latter. Therefore, in $ABC$ the three perpendiculars are all parallel. \item[7.~Theorem.] \emph{Lines which do not intersect and are not parallel have one and only one common perpendicular.} \textbf{Proof.} Let $AB$ and $CD$ be the two lines, and from $A$, any point of $AB$, drop $AC$ perpendicular to $CD$. If $AC$ is not itself the common perpendicular, one of the angles which it makes with $AB$ will be acute. Let this angle be on the side towards $AB$, so that $BAC < \nicefrac{\pi}{2}$. Draw $AE$ parallel to $CD$ on this same side of $AC$. The angle $EAC$ is less than $BAC$, since $AB$ is not parallel to $CD$ and does not intersect it. Let $AH$ be any line drawn in the angle $EAC$, intersecting $CD$ at $H$. If $H$, starting from the position of $C$, move off indefinitely on the line $CD$, the angle $BAH$ will decrease from the magnitude of the angle $BAC$ to the angle $BAE$. The angle $AHC$ will decrease \emph{indefinitely} from the magnitude of the angle at $C$, which is a right angle and greater than $BAC$. There will be some position for which $BAH=AHC$. In this position the line $NM$ through the middle point of $AH$ perpendicular to one of the two given lines will be perpendicular to the other, as proved in Chap.~I, I, 10. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig41.png} \end{figure} If there were two common perpendiculars we should have a rectangle, which is impossible in the Hyperbolic Geometry. \item[8.~Theorem.] \emph{If the perpendiculars erected at the middle points of the sides of a triangle do not meet and are not. parallel, they are all perpendicular to a certain line.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=90mm]{fig42.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} We can draw a line, $AB$, that will be perpendicular to two of these lines, and the perpendiculars from the three vertices of the triangle upon this line will be equal, by Chap.~I, II, 13. A perpendicular to $AB$ erected midway between any two of these three is perpendicular to the corresponding side of the triangle at its middle point (Chap.~I, I, 11). Thus, all three of the perpendiculars erected at the middle points of the sides of the triangle are perpendicular to $AB$. A line is parallel to a plane if it is parallel to its projection on the plane. \item[9.~Theorem.] \emph{A line may be drawn perpendicular to a plane and parallel to any line not in the plane.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=100mm]{fig43.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Let $AB$ be the given line and $MN$ the plane, if $AB$ meets the plane $MN$ at a point, $A$, we take on its projection a length, $AC$, such that the angle at $A$ equals $\Pi(AC)$. Then $CD$, perpendicular to the plane at $C$, will be parallel to $AB$. In the same way, on the other side of the plane a perpendicular can be drawn parallel to $BA$ produced. If $AB$ does not meet $MN$, then at least in one direction it diverges from $MN$. Through $H$, any point of the projection of $AB$ on the plane, we can draw a line, $HK$, parallel to $AB$ towards that part of $AB$ which diverges from $MN$, and then draw $CD$ parallel to this line and perpendicular to the plane. Unless $AB$ is parallel to $MN$ it will meet the plane at some point, or the plane and line will have a common perpendicular, and the line will diverge from the plane in both directions. In the latter case there are two perpendiculars that are parallel to the line, one parallel towards each part of the line. Two perpendiculars cannot be parallel towards the same part of a line; for then they would be parallel to each other, and two lines cannot be perpendicular to a plane and parallel to each other. \end{description} \newpage \section{Boundary-curves and Surfaces, and Equ\-i\-dist\-ant-curves and Surfaces} Having given the line $AB$, at its extremity, $A$, we take any arbitrary angle and produce the side $AC$ so that the perpendicular erected at its middle point shall be parallel to $AB$. The locus of the point $C$ is a curve which is called oricycle, or boundary-curve. $AB$ is its axis. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=60mm]{fig44.png} \end{figure} From their definition it follows that all boundary-curves are equal, and the boundary-curve is symmetrical with respect to its axis; if revolved through two right angles about its axis, it will coincide with itself. \begin{description} \item[1.~Theorem.] \emph{Any line parallel to the axis of a boundary-curve may be taken for axis.} \textbf{Let} $AB$ be the axis and $CD$ any line parallel to $AB$, to prove that $CD$ may be taken as axis. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=70mm]{fig45.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Draw $AC$; also to $E$, any other point on the curve, draw $AE$ and $CE$. The perpendiculars erected at the middle points of $AC$ and of $AE$ are parallel to $AB$ and $CD$ and to each other. Therefore, the perpendicular erected at the middle point of $CE$, the third side of the triangle $ACE$, is parallel to them and to $CD$. $CD$ then may be taken as axis. \textbf{Corollary.} \emph{The boundary-curve may be slid along on itself without altering its shape; that is, it has a constant curvature.} \item[2.~Theorem.] \emph{Two boundary-curves having a common set of axes cut off the same distance on each of the axes, and the ratio of corresponding arcs depends only on this distance.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=70mm]{fig46.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Take any two axes and a third axis bisecting the arc which the first two intercept on one of the two boundary-curves. By revolving the figure about this axis we show that the curves cut off equal distances on the two axes. Let $AA'$, $BB'$, and $CC'$ be any three axes of the two boundary-curves $AB$ and $A'B'$; let their common length be $x$ and let them intercept arcs $s$ and $t$ on $AB$, $s'$ and $t'$ on $A'B'$. When $s = t$, $s' = t'$, and, in general, \begin{equation*} \frac{s}{t} = \frac{s'}{t'}, \end{equation*} as we prove, first when $s$ and $t$ are commensurable, and then by the method of limits when they are incommensurable. The ratio $\nicefrac{s}{s'}$ is, therefore, a constant for the given value of $x$. \P~Write $\nicefrac{s}{s'} = f(x).$ \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=70mm]{fig47.png} \end{figure} \label{p45ref}\P~From three boundary-curves having the same set of axes, we find \begin{equation*} f(x+y) = f(x)f(y) \end{equation*} This property is characteristic of the exponential function whose general form is $f(x)= e^{ax}$.\label{p45fn}\footnote{Putting $y = x$, $2x$, $\cdots$ $(n-1)x$ in succession, we find \begin{equation*} f(nx) = [f(x)]^n \end{equation*} for positive integer values of $n$, $x$ being any positive quantity. \par Now \begin{equation*} f\left(\frac{r}{s}x\right) = \left[f\left(\frac{x}{s}\right)\right]^r, \end{equation*} and this is the $r$th power of the $s$th root of the first member of the equation \begin{equation*} \left[f\left(\frac{x}{s}\right)\right]^s = f(x);\quad \therefore f\left(\frac{r}{s}x\right) = [f(x)]^\frac{r}{s}. \end{equation*} Thus, assuming that $f(x)$ is a continuous function of $x$, we have proved that for all real positive values of $x$ and $n$ \begin{gather*} f(nx) = [f(x)]^n, \\ \intertext{and if we put $x$ for $n$ and $1$ for $x$, we have} f(x) = [f(1)]^x. \end{gather*} \par We will write $f(1) = e^a$; then \begin{equation*} f(x) = e^{ax}. \end{equation*} } Therefore, $\nicefrac{s}{s'}= e^{ax}$, the value of $a$ depending on the unit of measure (see below p.~\pageref{p76ref}). \item[3. Theorem.] \emph{The area enclosed by two boundary-curves having the same axes and by two of their common axes is proportional to the difference of the intercepted arcs.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=60mm]{fig48.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Let $s$ and $s'$ be the lengths of the intercepted arcs, and $l$ the distance measured on an axis between them. Let $t$, $t'$, and $k$ be the corresponding quantities for a second figure constructed in the same way. If the corresponding lines in the two figures are all equal, the areas are equal, for they can be made to coincide. If only $k = l$, the areas are to each other as corresponding arcs, say as $s' : t'$, proved first when the arcs are commensurable, and then by the method of limits when they are incommensurable. \newpage \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=60mm]{fig49.png} \end{figure} When $l$ and $k$ are commensurable, suppose \begin{equation*} \frac{l}{m} = \frac{k}{n} = a. \end{equation*} We can draw a series of boundary-curves at distances equal to $a$ on the axes and divide the areas into $m$ and $n$ parts, respectively. If $r$ is the ratio of arcs corresponding to the distance $a$, these parts will be proportional to the quantities \begin{gather*} s',\ s'r,\ s'r^2,\dots s'r^{m-1};\\ t',\ t'r,\ t'r^2,\dots t'r^{n-1}. \end{gather*} The two areas are then to each other in the ratio \begin{equation*} s' \frac{r^m-1}{r-1} \colon t' \frac{r^n-1}{r-1}. \end{equation*} But \begin{equation*} s'r^m = s \text{ and } t'r^n = t, \end{equation*} so that this is the same as the ratio \begin{equation*} s-s' \colon t-t'. \end{equation*} When $l$ and $k$ are incommensurable, we proceed as in other similar demonstrations. This theorem is analogous to the one which we have proved about polygons: the area is proportional to the amount of rotation in excess of four right angles in going around the figure, for the rate of rotation in going along a boundary-curve is constant. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=60mm]{fig50.png} \end{figure} The locus of points at a given distance from a straight line is a curve which may be called an equidistant-curve. The perpendiculars from the different points of this curve upon the base line are equal and may be called axes of the curve. An equidistant-curve fits upon itself when revolved through two right angles about one of its axes or when slid along upon itself. It has a constant curvature. It can be proved, exactly as in the case of two boundary-curves having the same set of axes, that arcs on an equidistant-curve are proportional to the segments cut off by the axes at their extremities on the base line or on any other equidistant-curve having the same set of axes. \item[4.~Theorem.] \emph{The boundary-curve is a limiting curve between the circle and the equidistant-curve; it may be regarded as a circle with infinitely large radius, or as an equidistant-curve whose base line is infinitely distant.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig51.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Take a line of given length, $AB = 2a$ say, making an angle, $A$, with a fixed line, $AC$. Construct another angle at $B$ equal to the angle $A$, and draw a perpendicular to $AB$ at its middle point, $D$. If the angle at $A$ is sufficiently small, we have an isosceles triangle with $AB$ for base, and its vertex at a point, $F$, on $AC$. With $F$ as centre, we can draw a circle through the points $A$ and $B$. Now let the angle at $A$ gradually increase, the rest of the figure varying so as to keep the construction. $F$ will move off indefinitely, and when $A = \Pi(a)$ the three lines $AF$, $BF$, and $DF$ will become parallel, and $B$ will become a point on the boundary-curve $AB'$, which has $AC$ for axis. On the other hand, if the angle at $A$ were taken acute, but greater than $\Pi(a)$, we should have three lines, $AE$, $BH$, and $DF$, perpendicular to a line, $EH$, the base line of an equidistant-curve through the points $A$ and $B$. Now let the angle $A$ gradually decrease, the rest of the figure varying so as to preserve the construction. The quadrilateral $ADFE$, having three right angles and the fourth angle $A$ decreasing, must increase in area. We get this same movement if we think of $AD$ and $DF$ remaining fixed in the plane while $AE$ revolves about $A$, making the angle $A$ decrease. Thus the only way in which the area of the quadrilateral can increase is for $EH$ to move off along on $AC$ and become more and more remote from $A$. When $A$ becomes equal to $\Pi (a)$, $BH$ and $DF$ become parallel to $AC$, and $B$ falls on the boundary-curve $AB'$. \end{description} Calling the radius of a circle axis, we find that circles, boundary-curves, and equidistant-curves have many properties in common: The perpendicular erected at the middle point of any chord is an axis. In particular, a tangent is perpendicular to the axis drawn from its point of contact. These are curves cutting at right angles a system of lines through a point, a system of parallel lines, and the perpendiculars to a given line, respectively. Two of these curves having the same set of axes cut off equal lengths on all these axes, and the ratio of corresponding arcs on two such curves is a constant depending only on the way in which they divide the axes. Three points determine one of these curves; that is, through any three points not in a straight line we can draw a curve which shall be either a circle, a boundary-curve, or an equidistant-curve, and through any three points only one such curve can be drawn. Any triangle may be inscribed in one and only one of these curves. Each of these curves can be moved on itself or revolved about any axis through $180^\circ$ into coincidence with itself. A boundary-surface or orisphere is a surface generated by the revolution of a boundary-curve about one of its axes. \begin{description} \item[5.~Theorem.] \emph{Any line parallel to the axis of a boundary-surface may be regarded as axis.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig52.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Let} $AA'$ be the axis, meeting the surface at $A$, and $BB'$ a line parallel to the axis through any other point, $B$, of the surface; to prove that $BB'$ may be regarded as axis. \textbf{Proof.} Let $C$ be a third point on the surface. Draw $CC'$ through $C$, and through $D$, $E$, and $F$, the middle points of the sides of the plane triangle $ABC$, draw $DD'$, $EE'$, and $FF'$ all parallel to $AA'$. Finally, let $OO'$ be parallel to these lines and perpendicular to the plane $ABC$. The projecting planes of the other parallels all pass through $OO'$ (see I, 9). Since $AA'$ is axis to the surface, $EE'$ and $FF'$ are perpendicular to $AC$ and $AB$, respectively. Draw $FK$ perpendicular to the plane $ABC$ at $F$. It will lie in the projecting plane $OFF'$. $AB$, being perpendicular to $FF'$ and to $FK$, is perpendicular to this plane, $OFF'$, and therefore to $OF$. In the same way we prove that $AC$ is perpendicular to $OE$. Therefore, $BC$ is perpendicular to $OD$ (Chap.~I, I, 5). But $OD$ is the intersection of the plane $ABC$ with the plane $ODD'$. Hence, $BC$ is perpendicular to this plane and to $DD'$ (Chap.~I, II, 15). $DD'$ being parallel to $BB'$ lies in the plane determined by $BB'$ and $BC$, and in this plane only one perpendicular can be drawn to $BC$ at its middle point. Therefore, if we pass any plane through $BB'$ and from $B$ draw a chord to any other point, $C$, of its intersection with the surface, the perpendicular in this plane to $BC$, erected at the middle point of $BC$, will be parallel to $BB'$. This proves that the section is a boundary-curve, having $BB'$ for axis, and that the surface can be generated by the revolution of such a boundary-curve around $BB'$. Therefore, $BB'$ may be regarded as axis of the surface. \end{description} A plane passed through an axis of a boundary-surface is called a principal plane. Every principal plane cuts the surface in a boundary-curve. Any other plane cuts the surface in a circle; for the surface may be regarded as a surface of revolution having for axis of revolution that axis which is perpendicular to the plane. This perpendicular may be called the axis of the circle, and the point where it meets the surface, the pole of the circle. The pole of a circle on a boundary-surface is at the same distance from all the points of the circle, distance being measured along boundary-lines on the surface. Any two boundary-surfaces can be made to coincide, and a boundary-surface can be moved upon itself, any point to the position of any other point, and any boundary-curve through the first point to the position of any boundary-curve through the second point. We may say that a boundary-surface has a constant curvature, the same for all these surfaces. Figures on a boundary-surface can be moved about or put upon any other boundary-surface without altering their shape or size. We can develop a Geometry on the boundary-surface. By \emph{line} we mean the boundary-curve in which the surface is cut by a principal plane. The angle between two lines is the same as the diedral angle between the two principal planes which cut out the lines on the surface. \begin{description} \item[6.~Theorem.] \emph{Geometry on the boundary-surface is the same as the ordinary Euclidean Plane Geometry.} \textbf{Proof.} On two boundary-surfaces with the same system of parallel lines for axes corresponding triangles are similar; that is, corresponding angles are equal, having the same measures as the diedral angles which cut them out, and corresponding lines are proportional by (2). But we can place these figures on the same surface; therefore, on one boundary-surface we can have similar triangles. Thus, we can diminish the sides of a triangle without altering their ratios or the angles. We can do this indefinitely; for the ratio of corresponding lines on the two surfaces, being expressed by the function $e^{ax}$ of the distance between them, can be made as large as we please by taking $x$ sufficiently large. If we assume that figures on the boundary-surface become more and more like plane figures when we diminish indefinitely their size, it follows that a triangle on this surface approaches more and more the form of an infinitesimal plane triangle, for which the sum of the angles is two right angles, and the angles and sides have the same relations as in the Euclidean Plane Geometry. All the formulć of Plane Trigonometry with which we are familiar hold, then, for triangles on the boundary-surface. On the boundary-surface we have the ``hypothesis of the right angle''. Rectangles can be formed, and the area of a rectangle is proportional to the product of its base and altitude, while the area of a triangle is half of the area of a rectangle having the same base and altitude. \end{description} An equidistant-surface is a surface generated by the revolution of an equ\-i\-dist\-ant-curve about one of its axes. It is the locus of points at a given perpendicular distance from a plane. Any perpendicular to the plane may be regarded as an axis, and the surface is a surface cutting at right angles a system of lines perpendicular to the plane. The surface has a constant curvature, fitting upon itself in any position. \section{Trigonometrical Formulć} \begin{description} \item[1.~Let] $ABC$ be a plane right triangle. Erect $AA'$ perpendicular to its plane and draw $BB'$ and $CC'$ parallel to $AA'$. Draw a boundary-surface through $A$, having these lines for axes and forming the boundary-surface triangle $AB''C''$. Also construct the spherical triangle about the point $B$. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig53.png} \end{figure} The angle $A$ is the same in the plane triangle and in the boundary-surface triangle. The planes through $AA'$ are perpendicular to $ABC$. Hence, the spherical triangle has a right angle at the vertex which lies on $c$, and $BC$ being perpendicular to $CA$ is perpendicular to the plane of $CC'$ and $AA'$. Therefore, the plane $BCC'$ is perpendicular to the plane $ACC'$, and the diedral whose edge is $BC$ has for plane angle the angle $ACC'= \Pi (b)$. Since the boundary-surface triangle is right-angled at $C''$, the angle $B''$, or what is the same thing, the diedral whose edge is $BB'$, is the complement of the angle $A$. In the spherical triangle the side opposite the right angle is $\Pi (a)$, the two sides about the right angle are $\Pi (c)$ and $B$, and the opposite angles are $\Pi (b)$ and $90^\circ-A$. Applying to these quantities the trigonometrical formulć for spherical right triangles, we get at once the relations that connect the sides and angles of plane right triangles. Produce to quadrants the two sides about the angle whose value is the complement of $A$. We form in this way a spherical right triangle in which the side opposite the right angle is the complement of $\Pi(c)$, the two sides about the right angle are the complements of $\Pi(a)$ and $\Pi (b)$, and their opposite angles are the complements of $B$ and $A$. From this triangle we deduce the following rule for passing from the formulć of spherical right triangles to those of plane triangles: \emph{Interchange the two angles (or the two sides) and everywhere use the complementary function, tailing the corresponding angle of parallelism for the sides.} The formulć for spherical right triangles are \begin{gather*} \begin{aligned} \sin A &= \frac{\sin a}{\sin c}. & \sin B &= \frac{\sin b}{\sin c}.\\ \cos A &= \frac{\tan b}{\tan c}. & \cos B &= \frac{\tan a}{\tan c}.\\ \tan A &= \frac{\tan a}{\sin b}. & \tan B &= \frac{\tan b}{\sin a}.\\ \sin A &= \frac{\cos B}{\cos b}. & \sin B &= \frac{\cos A}{\cos a}. \end{aligned}\\ \begin{aligned} \cos c &= \cos a \cdot \cos b \\ \cos c &= \cot A \cdot \cot B \\ \end{aligned} \end{gather*} \newpage From these, by the rule given on the previous page, we derive the following formulć for plane right triangles: \begin{gather*} \begin{aligned} \cos B &= \frac{\cos\Pi(a)}{\cos\Pi(c)}. & \cos A &= \frac{\cos\Pi(b)}{\cos\Pi(c)}.\\ \sin B &= \frac{\cot\Pi(b)}{\cot\Pi(c)}. & \sin A &= \frac{\cot\Pi(a)}{\cot\Pi(c)}.\\ \cot B &= \frac{\cot\Pi(a)}{\cos\Pi(b)}. & \cot A &= \frac{\cot\Pi(b)}{\cos\Pi(a)}.\\ \cos B &= \frac{\sin A}{\sin\Pi(b)}. & \cos A &= \frac{\sin B}{\sin\Pi(a)}. \end{aligned}\\ \begin{aligned} \sin\Pi(c) &= \sin\Pi(a) \sin\Pi(b).\\ \sin\Pi(c) &= \tan A \tan B.\footnotemark \end{aligned} \end{gather*} \footnotetext{We can arrange the parts of a right triangle so as to apply Napier's rules; namely, the arrangement would be \centering \includegraphics[width=30mm]{fig54.png}} We can obtain the formulć for oblique plane triangles by dropping a perpendicular from one vertex upon the opposite side, thus forming two right triangles. \item[2.]~Take the relation \begin{equation*} \sin\Pi(a) = \frac{\sin B}{\cos A}. \end{equation*} \textbf{Let} $p$, $q$, and $r$ be the sides of the triangle $AB''C''$ of our last demonstration and $p'$, $q'$, and $r$ the corresponding sides of the triangle formed in the same way on a boundary-surface tangent to the plane $ABC$ at $B$. \newpage \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig55.png} \end{figure} \begin{align*} \sin B &= \frac{q'}{r}, \\ \cos A &= \frac{q}{r} . \\ \therefore \sin \Pi(a) &= \frac{q'}{q} . \end{align*} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=35mm]{fig56.png} \end{figure} \label{p56ref}Now $q$ and $q'$ are corresponding arcs on two boundary-curves which have the same set of parallel lines as axes, and their distance apart, $x$, is the distance from a boundary-curve of the extremity of a tangent of arbitrary length, $a$. Thus, we have for corresponding arcs \begin{equation*} \frac{s'}{s} = \sin \Pi(a) \end{equation*} \newpage \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig57.png} \end{figure} \item[3.]~To $MN$, a given straight line, erect a perpendicular at a point, $O$, and on this perpendicular lay off $OA = y$ below $MN$, and $OB$ and $BP$ each equal to $x$ above $MN$, $x$ and $y$ being any arbitrary lengths. At $P$ draw $PR$ perpendicular to $OP$ and extending towards the left, and through $B$ draw $EF$ making with $OP$ an angle $\Pi (x)$, and therefore parallel on one side to $ON$ and on the other side to $PR$. Finally, draw $AK$ and $AH$, the two parallels to $EF$ through $A$. At the point $A$ we have four angles of parallelism: \begin{align*} CAK = CAH &= \Pi (AC), \\ OAK &= \Pi (y) , \\ PAH &= \Pi (y+2x) . \\ \intertext{Therefore, } \Pi (y) &= \Pi (AC) + BAC ,\\ \intertext{and} \Pi (y+2x) &= \Pi (AC) - BAC . \\ \intertext{Now in the right triangle $ABC$} \cos \Pi (y + x) &= \frac{\cos \Pi (AC)}{\cos BAC} \\ \intertext{or} \frac{1-\cos \Pi (y+x)}{1+\cos \Pi (y+x)} &= \frac{\cos BAC - \cos \Pi (AC)}{\cos BAC + \cos \Pi (AC)}, \\ &= \frac{ \sin \tfrac{1}{2} \left[ \Pi (AC) + BAC \right] \sin \tfrac{1}{2} \left[ \Pi (AC) - BAC \right] } { \cos \tfrac{1}{2} \left[ \Pi (AC) + BAC \right] \cos \tfrac{1}{2} \left[ \Pi (AC) - BAC \right] }; \\ \intertext{whence,} \tan^2 \tfrac{1}{2} \Pi (y + x) &= \tan \tfrac{1}{2} \Pi (y) \tan \tfrac{1}{2} \Pi (y + 2x) \end{align*} \P~$\tan \frac{1}{2} \Pi(x)$ is then a function of $x$, say $f(x)$, satisfying the condition \begin{align*} \left[ f(y + x) \right]^2 & = f(y) f(y+2x) \\ \intertext{or} \frac{f(y+x)}{f(y)} & = \frac{f(y+2x)}{f(y+x)} \end{align*} and putting successively in this equation $y + x$, $y + 2x$, etc., for $y$, we may add \begin{equation*} = \frac{f(y+3x)}{f(y+2x)} = \cdots = \frac{f(y+nx)}{f \left[ y+(n-1)x \right]} \end{equation*} \P~$\Pi (0) = \nicefrac{\pi}{2}$ and $\tan \tfrac{1}{2} \Pi (0) = 1$; therefore, putting $y = 0$ in the first and last of all these fractions, we have \begin{align*} f(x) & = \frac{f(nx)}{f\left[ (n-1) x\right]} , \\ \intertext{or} f(nx) & = f\left[(n-1)x \right] f(x). \\ \therefore f(nx) & = \left[ f(x)\right]^n . \end{align*} This equation is characteristic of the exponential function.\footnote{See footnote, p.~\pageref{p45fn}.} $\Pi (x)$ being an acute angle, $tan \tfrac{1}{2} \Pi (x) < 1$; therefore, we may write $f(1) = e^{-a'}$, so that $f(x) = e^{-a'x}$. $a'$ depends on the unit of measure; we will take the unit so that $a' = 1$. Finally, since $\Pi(-x) = \pi - \Pi (x)$, \begin{equation*} \tan \tfrac{1}{2} \Pi (-x) = \cot \tfrac{1}{2} \Pi (x) = \left[ \tan \tfrac{1}{2} \Pi (x) \right]^{-1} . \end{equation*} \newpage That is, for all real values of $x$ \begin{align*} \tan \tfrac{1}{2} \Pi (x) &= e^{-x} , \intertext{or} \frac{1-\cos\Pi(x)}{\sin\Pi(x)} &= \cos ix + i\sin ix.\footnotemark \end{align*}\label{p59ref} \footnotetext{$i$ stands for $\sqrt{-1}$. The best way to get the relations between the exponential and trigonometrical functions is by their developments in series: \begin{align*} e^x &= 1 + x + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \dots + \frac{x^n}{n!} + \dotsb,\\ \cos x &= 1 - \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \dots + (-1)^n\frac{x^{2n}}{2n!} + \dotsb,\\ \sin x &= x - \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} - \dots + (-1)^n\frac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!} + \dotsb. \end{align*} \par These series are convergent for all values of $x$. \par Putting $ix$ for $x$, we have \begin{gather*} \begin{aligned} e^{ix} &= 1 + ix - \frac{x^2}{2!} - \frac{ix^3}{3!} + \dotsb\\ &= 1 - \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \dots + i\left( x - \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} - \dotsb \right); \end{aligned} \\ \begin{aligned} \emph{i.e.,}\qquad e^{ix} &= \cos x + i\sin x.\\ \text{Also}\qquad e^{-ix} &= \cos x - i\sin x.\\ \therefore \cos x &= \tfrac{1}{2} \left(e^{ix} + e^{-ix}\right),\\ \sin x &= \tfrac{1}{2i} \left(e^{ix} - e^{-ix}\right). \end{aligned} \end{gather*} \par Again, putting $ix$ for $x$, we have \begin{align*} e^x &= \cos ix - i\sin ix,\\ e^{-x} &= \cos ix + i\sin ix;\\ \intertext{and} \cos ix &= \tfrac{1}{2} \left(e^x + e^{-x}\right),\\ \sin ix &= -\tfrac{1}{2i} \left(e^2 - e^{-x}\right).\\ \cos ix &= 1 + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} + \dotsb,\\ \sin ix &= ix \left(1 + \frac{x^2}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{5!} + \dotsb\right). \end{align*} \par For real values of $x$, $\cos ix$ and $\dfrac{\sin ix}{ix}$ are real and positive, and vary from $1$ to $\infty$ as $x$ varies from $0$ to $\infty$. \par In the equation $\cos^2ix + \sin^2ix = 1$, the first term is real and positive for real values of $x$, the second term is real and negative; therefore, $\sin ix$ is in absolute value less than $\cos ix$, and $\tan ix$ is in absolute value less than $1$. $\tan ix$ varies in absolute value from $0$ to $1$ as $x$ varies from $0$ to $\infty$.} \P~Changing the sign of $x$, we have \begin{align*} \frac{1+\cos\Pi(x)}{\sin\Pi(x)} &= \cos ix - i \sin ix, \\ \intertext{and, adding and subtracting,} \frac{1}{\sin\Pi(x)} &= \cos ix, \\ \cot\Pi(x) &= -i\sin ix. \end{align*} \P~The nature of the angle of parallelism is, therefore, expressed by the equations \begin{align*} \sin\Pi(x) &= \frac{1}{\cos ix}, \\ \tan\Pi(x) &= \frac{i}{\sin ix}, \\ \cos\Pi(x) &= \frac{\tan ix}{i}. \end{align*} \item[4.]~Substituting in the formulć of plane right triangles, we find that they reduce to those of spherical right triangles with $ia$, $ib$, and $ic$ for $a$, $b$, and $c$, respectively. The formulć of oblique triangles are obtained from those of right triangles in the same way as on the sphere, and thus all the formulć of Plane Trigonometry are obtained from those of Spherical Trigonometry simply by making this change. As fundamental formulć for oblique triangles we write \begin{gather*} \frac{\sin A}{\sin ia} = \frac{\sin B}{\sin ib} = \frac{\sin C}{\sin ic}, \\ \cos ia = \cos ib\, \cos ic + \sin ib\, \sin ic\, \cos A, \\ \cos A = -\cos B\, \cos C + \sin B\, \sin C\, \cos ia. \end{gather*} In the notation of the $\Pi$-function, these are \begin{gather*} \sin A\, \tan\Pi(a) = \sin B\, \tan\Pi(b) = \sin C\, \tan\Pi(c), \\ \frac{\sin\Pi(b)\,\sin\Pi(c)}{\sin\Pi(a)} = 1-\cos\Pi(b)\,\cos\Pi(c)\,\cos A, \\ \cos A = -\cos B\, \cos C + \frac{\sin B\,\sin C}{\sin\Pi(a)}. \end{gather*} \item[5.]~Since for very small values of $x$ we have approximately \begin{gather*} \sin ix = ix, \\ \cos ix = 1 + \frac{x^2}{2}, \\ \tan ix = ix, \\ \intertext{our formulć for infinitesimal triangles reduce to} \frac{\sin A}{a} = \frac{\sin B}{b} = \frac{\sin C}{c}, \\ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc\,\cos A, \\ \cos A = -\cos(B+C). \end{gather*} \item[6.]~Triangles on an equidistant-surface are similar to their projections on the base plane; that is, they have the same angles and their sides are proportional. Thus the formulć of Plane Trigonometry hold for any equidistant-surface if with the letters representing the sides we put, besides $i$, a constant factor depending on the distance of the surface from the plane. \end{description} \chapter{THE ELLIPTIC GEOMETRY} In the hypothesis of the obtuse angle a straight line is of finite length and returns into itself. This length is the same for all lines, since any two lines can be made to coincide. Two straight lines always intersect, and two lines perpendicular to a third intersect at a point whose distance from the third on either line is half the entire length of a straight line. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=70mm]{fig58.png} \end{figure} \begin{description} \item{1.}~A straight line does not divide the plane. Starting from the point of intersection of two lines and passing along one of them a certain finite distance, we come to the intersection point again without having crossed the other line. Thus, we can pass from one side of the line to the other without having crossed it. There is one point through which pass all the perpendiculars to a given line. It is called the pole of that line, and the line is its polar. Its distance from the line is half the entire length of a straight line, and the line is the locus of points at this distance from its pole. Therefore, if the pole of one line lies on another, the pole of the second lies on the first, and the intersection of two lines is the pole of the line joining their poles. The locus of points at a given distance from a given line is a circle having its centre at the pole of the line. The straight line is a limiting form of a circle when the radius becomes equal to half the entire length of a line. We can draw three lines, each perpendicular to the other two, forming a trirectangular triangle. It is also a self-polar triangle; each vertex is the pole of the opposite side. \item[2.]~All the perpendiculars to a plane in space meet at a point which is the pole of the plane. It is the centre of a system of spheres of which the plane is a limiting form when the radius becomes equal to half the entire length of a straight line. Figures on a plane can be projected from similar figures on any sphere which has the pole of the plane for centre. That is, they have equal angles and corresponding sides in a constant ratio that depends only on the radius of the sphere. Two corresponding angles are equal, because they are the same as the diedral angles formed by the two planes through the centre of the sphere which cut the sphere and the plane in the sides of the angles. Corresponding lines are proportional; for if two arcs on the sphere are equal, their projections on the plane are equal; and that, in general, two arcs have the same ratio as their projections on the plane is proved, first when they are commensurable, and by the method of limits when they are incommensurable. Geometry on a plane is, therefore, like Spherical Geometry, but the plane corresponds to only half a sphere, just as the diameters of a sphere correspond to the points of half the surface. Indeed, the points and straight lines of a plane correspond exactly to the lines and planes through a point, but we can realize the correspondence better that compares the plane with the surface of a sphere. If we can imagine that the points on the boundary of a hemisphere at opposite extremities of diameters are coincident, the hemisphere will correspond to the elliptic plane. There is no particular line of the plane that plays the part of boundary. All lines of the plane are alike; the plane is unbounded, but not infinite in extent. The entire straight line corresponds to a semicircle. We will take such a unit for measuring length that the entire length of a line shall be $\pi$; the formulć of Spherical Trigonometry will then apply without change to our plane. Distances on a line will then have the same measure as the angles which they subtend at the pole of the line, and the angle between two lines will be equal to the distance between their poles. The distance from any point to its polar, half the entire length of a straight line, may then be called a quadrant. We can form a self-polar tetraëdron by taking three mutually perpendicular planes and the plane which has their intersection for pole. The vertices of this tetraëdron are the poles of the opposite faces. At each vertex is a trirectangular triedral, and each face is a trirectangular triangle. \item[3.~Theorem.] \emph{All the planes perpendicular to a fixed line intersect in another fixed line, called its polar or conjugate. The relation is reciprocal, and all the points of either line are at a quadrant's distance, from all the points of the other.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=60mm]{fig59.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Proof.} Let the two planes perpendicular to the line $AB$ at $H$ and $K$ intersect in $CD$. Pass a plane through $AB$ and $R$, any point of $CD$. This plane will intersect the two given planes in $HR$ and $KR$. $HR$ and $KR$ are perpendicular to $AB$; therefore, $R$ is at a quadrant's distance from $H$ and $K$. $R$ is then the pole of $AB$ in the plane determined by $AR$ and $R$, and is at a quadrant's distance from every point of $AB$. But $R$ is any point of $CD$; therefore, any point of either line is at a quadrant's distance from each point of the other line, and a point which is at a quadrant's distance from one line lies in the other line. Again, any point, $H$, of $AB$, being at a quadrant's distance from all the points of $CD$, is the pole of $CD$ in the plane determined by it and $CD$. Thus, $HR$ and $KR$ are both perpendicular to $CD$, and the plane determined by $AB$ and $R$ is perpendicular to $CD$. \medskip The opposite edges of a self-polar tetraëdron are polar lines. All the lines which intersect a given line at right angles intersect its polar at right angles. Therefore, the distances of any point from two polar lines are measured on the same straight line and are together equal to a quadrant. Two points which are equidistant from one line are equidistant from its polar. The locus of points which are at a given distance from a fixed line is a surface of revolution having both this line and its polar as axes. We may call it a surface of double revolution. The parallel circles about one axis are meridian curves for the other axis. If a solid body, or, we may say, all space, move along a straight line without rotating about it, it will rotate about the conjugate line as an axis without sliding along it. A motion along a straight line combined with a rotation about it is called a screw motion. A screw motion may then be described as a rotation about each of two conjugate lines or as a sliding along each of two conjugate lines. \item[4.~Theorem.] \emph{In the elliptic geometry there are lines not in the same plane which have an infinite number of common perpendiculars and are everywhere equidistant.} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=80mm]{fig60.png} \end{figure} \textbf{Given} any two lines in the same plane and their common perpendicular. If we go out on these lines in either direction from the perpendicular, they approach each other. Now revolve one of them about this perpendicular so that they are no longer in the same plane. After a certain amount of rotation the lines will have an infinite number of common perpendiculars and be equidistant throughout their entire length. \textbf{Proof.} Let $p$ be the length of the common perpendicular $AC$, and take points $B$ and $D$ on the two lines on the same side of this perpendicular at a distance, $a$. $BDBC$ and $BC > AC$. Suppose, when $CD$ has revolved through an angle, $\theta$, $BD$ becomes equal to $p$ and takes the position $BD'$. The triangles $ABC$ and $D'BC$ are equal, having corresponding sides equal. Therefore, $BD'$ is perpendicular to $CD'$. $BD'$ is also perpendicular to $BA$; for if we take the diedral $A-BC-D'$ and place it upon itself so that the positions of $B$ and $C$ shall be interchanged, $A$ will fall on the position of $D'$, and $D'$ on the position of $A$, and the angle $D'BA$ must equal the angle $ACD'$. Therefore, $BD'$ as well as $CA$ is a common perpendicular to the lines $AB$ and $CD'$. Now at the point $C$ we have a triedral whose three edges are $CB$, $CD$, and $CD'$. Moreover, the diedral along the edge $CD$ is a right diedral; therefore, the three face angles of the triedral satisfy the same relations as do the three sides of a spherical right triangle; namely, \begin{gather*} \cos BCD' = \cos BCD\, \cos DCD' \\ \intertext{But} BCD = \frac{\pi}{2} - ACB \quad\text{and}\quad BCD' = ABC. \\ \intertext{Hence, this relation may be written} \cos ABC = \sin ACB\, \cos \theta. \end{gather*} \P~Again, in the right triangle $ABC$ \begin{align*} \sin ACB &= \frac{\cos ABC}{\cos p} \\ \therefore \cos \theta &= \cos p, \\ \intertext{or, since $\theta$ and $p$ are less than $\nicefrac{\pi}{2}$,} \theta &= p. \end{align*} The angle $\theta$, therefore, does not depend upon $a$. If we take any two lines in a plane and turn one about their common perpendicular through an angle equal in measure to the length of that perpendicular, the two lines will then be everywhere equidistant. \end{description} \label{p68ref}As we have no parallel lines in the ordinary sense in this Geometry, the name \emph{parallel} has been applied to lines of this kind. They have many properties of the parallel lines of Euclidean Geometry. Through any point two lines can be drawn parallel to a given line. These are of two kinds, sometimes distinguished as right-wound and left-wound. They lie entirely on a surface of double revolution, having the given line as axis. The surface is, therefore, a ruled surface and has on it two sets of rectilinear generators like the hyperboloid of one sheet. \chapter{ANALYTIC NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY} We shall use the ordinary polar coördinates, $\rho$ and $\theta$, and for the rectangular coordinates, $x$ and $y$, of a point, we shall use the intercepts on the axes made by perpendiculars through the point to the axes.

The actual lengths along these two systems of circles are $\theta\sin k$ and $z\cos k$ (see Cor.~p.~\pageref{p83ref}). If, therefore, we write \begin{equation*} \alpha = \theta\sin k,\quad \beta = z\cos k, \end{equation*} we shall have a rectangular system on the surface where the coördinates are the distances measured along these two systems of circles which cut at right angles. The formula now becomes \begin{equation*} ds^2 = d\alpha^2 + d\beta^2. \end{equation*} An equation of the first degree in $\alpha$ and $\beta$ represents a curve which enjoys on this surface all the properties of the straight line in the plane of the Euclidean Geometry. Through any two points one, and only one, such line can be drawn, because two sets of coördinates are just sufficient to determine the coefficients of an equation of the first degree. The shortest distance between two points on the surface is measured on such a line. For, the distance between two points on a path represented by an equation in $\alpha$ and $\beta$ is the same as the distance between the corresponding points and on the corresponding path in a Euclidean plane in which we take $\alpha$ and $\beta$ for rectangular coördinates. It must, therefore, be the shortest when the path is represented by an equation of the first degree in $\alpha$ and $\beta$. Such a line on a surface is called a \emph{geodesic line}, or, so far as the surface is concerned, a straight line. The distance between any two points measured on one of these lines is expressed by the formula \begin{equation*} d = \sqrt{(\alpha-\alpha')^2 + (\beta-\beta')^2}. \end{equation*} Triangles formed of these lines have all the properties of plane triangles in the Euclidean Geometry: the sum of the angles is $\pi$, etc. In fact this surface has the same relation to elliptic space that the boundary-surface has to hyperbolic space. The normal form of the equation of a line is \begin{equation*} \alpha\cos\omega + \beta\sin\omega = p. \end{equation*} The rectilinear generators of the surface make a constant angle, $\pm k$, with all the circles drawn around the axis which is polar to the axis of $z$. These generators are then ``straight lines'' on the surface, and their equation takes the form \begin{equation*} \alpha\cos k \pm \beta\sin k = p. \end{equation*} \end{description} \chapter{HISTORICAL NOTE} The history of Non-Euclidean Geometry has been so well and so often written that we will give only a brief outline.\label{3hypos} There is one axiom of Euclid that is somewhat complicated in its expression and does not seem to be, like the rest, a simple elementary fact. It is this:\footnote{See article on the axioms of Euclid by Paul Tannery. \emph{Bulletin des Sciences Mathématiques}, 1884.} \begin{quotation}\emph{If two lines are cut by a third, and the sum of the interior angles on the same side of the cutting line is less than two right angles, the lines will meet on that side when sufficiently produced.}\end{quotation} Attempts were made by many mathematicians, notably by Legendre, to give a proof of this proposition; that is, to show that it is a necessary consequence of the simpler axioms preceding it. Legendre proved that the sum of the angles of a triangle can never exceed two right angles, and that if there is a single triangle in which this sum is equal to two right angles, the same is true of all triangles. This was, of course, on the supposition that a line is of infinite length. He could not, however, prove that there exists a triangle the sum of whose angles is two right angles.\footnote{See, for example, the twelfth edition of his \emph{Éléments de Géométrie}, Livre~I, Proposition~XIX, and Note~II. See also a statement by Klein in an article on the Non-Euclidean Geometry in the second volume of the first series of the \emph{Bulletin des Sciences Mathématiques}.} At last some mathematicians began to believe that this statement was not capable of proof, that an equally consistent Geometry could be built up if we suppose it not always true, and, finally, that all of the postulates of Euclid were only hypotheses which our experience had led us to accept as true, but which could be replaced by contrary statements in the development of a logical Geometry. The beginnings of this theory have sometimes been ascribed to Gauss, but it is known now that a paper was written by Lambert,\footnote{See \emph{American Mathematical Monthly}, July--August, 1895.} in 1766, in which he maintains that the parallel axiom needs proof, and gives some of the characteristics of Geometries in which this axiom does not hold. Even as long ago as 1733 a book was published by an Italian, Saccheri, in which he gives a complete system of Non-Euclidean Geometry, and then saves himself and his book by asserting dogmatically that these other hypotheses are false. It is his method of treatment that has been taken as the basis of the first chapter of this book.\footnote{The translation of Saccheri by Halsted has been appearing in the \emph{American Mathematical Monthly}.} Gauss was seeking to prove the axiom of parallels for many years, and he may have discovered some of the theorems which are consequences of the denial of this axiom, but he never published anything on the subject. Lobachevsky, in Russia, and Johann Bolyai, in Hungary, first asserted and proved that the axiom of parallels is not necessarily true. They were entirely independent of each other in their work, and each is entitled to the full credit of this discovery. Their results were published about 1830. It was a long time before these discoveries attracted much notice. Meanwhile, other lines of investigation were carried on which were afterwards to throw much light on our subject, not, indeed, as explanations, but by their striking analogies. Thus, within a year or two of each other, in the same journal (Crelle) appeared an article by Lobachevsky giving the results of his investigations, and a memoir by Minding on surfaces on which he found that the formulć of Spherical Trigonometry hold if we put $ia$ for $a$, etc. Yet these two papers had been published thirty years before their connection was noticed (by Beltrami).\label{histnote} Again, Cayley, in 1859, in the \emph{Philosophical Transactions}, published his Sixth Memoir on Quantics, in which he developed a projective theory of measurement and showed how metrical properties can be treated as projective by considering the anharmonic relations of any figures with a certain special figure that he called the absolute. In 1872 Klein took up this theory and showed that it gave a perfect image of the Non-Euclidean Geometry. It has also been shown that we can get our Non-Euclidean Geometries if we think of a unit of measure varying according to a certain law as it moves about in a plane or in space. The older workers in these fields discovered only the Geometry in which the hypothesis of the acute angle is assumed. It did not occur to them to investigate the assumption that a line is of finite length. The Elliptic Geometry was left to be discovered by Riemann, who, in 1854, took up a study of the foundations of Geometry. He studied it from a very different point of view, an abstract algebraic point of view, considering not our space and geometrical figures, except by way of illustration, but a system of variables. He investigated the question, What is the nature of a function of these variables which can be called element of length or distance? and found that in the simplest cases it must be the square root of a quadratic function of the differentials of the variables whose coefficients may themselves be functions of the variables. By taking different forms of the quadratic expressions we get an infinite number of these different kinds of Geometry, but in most of them we lose the axiom that bodies may be moved about without changing their size or shape. Two more names should be included in this sketch,---Helmholtz and Clifford. These did much to make the subject popular by articles in scientific journals. To Clifford we owe the theory of parallels in elliptic space, as explained on page~\pageref{p68ref}. He showed that we can have in this Geometry a finite surface on which the Euclidean Geometry holds true.\footnote{Some of the more interesting accounts of Non-Euclidean Geometry are: \emph{Encyclopedia Britannica}, article ``Measurement'', by Sir Robert Ball. \emph{Revue Générale des Sciences}, 1891, ``Les Géométries Non-Euclidean,'' by Poincaré. \emph{Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society}, May and June, 1900, ``Lobachevsky's \emph{Geometry}'', by Frederick S.~Woods. \emph{Mathematische Annalen}, Bd.~xlix, p.~149, 1897, and \emph{Bulletin des Sciences Mathématiques}, 1897, ``Letters of Gauss and Bolyai''; particularly interesting is one letter in which Gauss gives a formula for the area of a triangle on the hypothesis that we can draw three mutually parallel lines enclosing a finite area always the same. The last two articles refer to the publications of Professors Engel and Stäckel, which give in German a full history of the theory of parallels and the writings and lives of Lobachevsky and Bolyai. See also the translations by Prof. George Bruce Halsted of Lobachevsky and Bolyai and of an address by Professor Vasiliev.} The chief lesson of Non-Euclidean Geometry is that the axioms of Geometry are only deductions from our experience, like the theories of physical science. For the mathematician, they are hypotheses whose truth or falsity does not concern him, but only the philosopher. He may take them in any form he pleases and on them build his Geometry, and the Geometries so obtained have their applications in other branches of mathematics. The ``axiom'', so far as this word is applied to these geometrical propositions, is not ``self-evident'', and is not necessarily true. If a certain statement can be proved,---that is, if it is a necessary consequence of axioms already adopted,---then it should not be called an axiom. When two or more mutually contradictory statements are equally consistent with all the axioms that have already been accepted, then we are at liberty to take either of them, and the statement which we choose becomes for our Geometry an axiom. Our Geometry is a study of the consequences of this axiom. The assumptions which distinguish the three kinds of Geometry that we have been studying may be expressed in different forms. We may say that one or two or no parallels can be drawn through a point; or, that the sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to, less than, or greater than two right angles; or, that a straight line has two real points, one real point, or no real point at infinity; or, that in a plane we can have similar figures or we cannot have similar figures, and a straight line is of finite or infinite length, etc. But any of these forms determines the nature of the Geometry, and the others are deducible from it. \newpage \chapter{PROJECT GUTENBERG "SMALL PRINT"} \small \pagenumbering{gobble} \begin{verbatim} End Project Gutenberg's Non-Euclidean Geometry, by Henry Manning *** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY *** ***** This file should be named 13702-t.tex or 13702-t.zip ***** This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: https://www.gutenberg.org/1/3/7/0/13702/ Produced by David Starner, Joshua Hutchinson, John Hagerson, and the Project Gutenberg On-line Distributed Proofreading Team.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit https://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: https://www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. *** END: FULL LICENSE *** \end{verbatim} \normalsize \end{document}
