Geometry

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the properties, measurement, and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids in space. It is fundamental to fields such as computer graphics, game development, and data visualization, providing the mathematical basis for spatial reasoning and modeling.

Also known as: Geometric Mathematics, Spatial Math, Euclidean Geometry, Analytic Geometry, Geom

Why learn Geometry?

Developers should learn geometry for applications involving spatial data, 2D/3D rendering, and computational geometry, such as in game engines, CAD software, and geographic information systems. It is essential for tasks like collision detection, pathfinding, and geometric transformations in programming.
