How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14984365 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Euclidean geometry
Euclidean geometry is the classical mathematical system that studies flat space and shapes using axioms about points, lines, and angles, forming the foundation of much of traditional mathematics and physics.
-
B.
The Beauty of Geometry
The Beauty of Geometry is a classic mathematical book by H. S. M. Coxeter that explores elegant geometric ideas and configurations through clear exposition and rich illustrations.
-
C.
Commentary on Euclid's Elements
Commentary on Euclid's Elements is a late antique philosophical and mathematical treatise by Proclus that analyzes and interprets Euclid’s foundational geometry text while preserving valuable information about earlier Greek mathematics.
-
D.
Non-Euclidean Geometry
Non-Euclidean Geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies geometrical systems in which Euclid’s parallel postulate does not hold, leading to alternative models of space such as hyperbolic and elliptic geometry.
-
E.
A Short Account of the History of Mathematics
A Short Account of the History of Mathematics is a classic survey text that traces the development of mathematical ideas and notable mathematicians from ancient times to the modern era.
- F. None of above. chosen
