concept

A model of hyperbolic geometry is a mathematical structure that represents the axioms and properties of hyperbolic space—where, unlike in Euclidean geometry, through any point not on a given line there exist infinitely many parallel lines—within a concrete setting such as the Poincaré disk or upper half-plane.
