Overview

Geometry is perhaps the most elementary of the sciences that enable man, by purely intellectual processes, to make predictions about physical world. The power of geometry, in the sense of accuracy and utility of these deductions, is impressive, and has been a powerful motivation for the study of logic in geometry. Geometry is most widely used application based mathematical concept used in our daily life. Geometry was evolved in 300 BC by Euclid known also as the father of Geometry, a Greek mathematician, was not meant only for mathematical concepts but for many normal applications for any person who has basic understanding of the concept. It is considered as one of the oldest concept and is concerned with shapes and sizes of the relative figures and with properties of space. Application of geometry in daily life consists of more than thousands of applications varying from lowest level to the highest end. Any physical space could be calculated by using the Geometrical concept. The entire Geometry is divided into two parts: one is plane Geometry and while the other is solid Geometry. Among the personalities, architects are one of the most extensive users of geometry. Defense applications are again one of the best examples of application of geometry in daily life. Daily operations of military consists much of real life Geometrical application such as loading of arms and piling of ammunition and firing of missiles. Locating the coordinates and then launching the missiles is another example of application of Geometry. At home based applications such as finding the square footage at the home for placing a refrigerator or locating a space to fit in an air conditioner requires calculation of the space required and this done by using area and volume concept. While whitewashing we need to make an estimate how much paint is required for the walls and roof, and without geometrical calculations it would be nearly impossible for us to calculate the amount of paint required. Another very interesting application of geometry in daily life is the use of it in computer graphics. Bio technology and Medical science also use geometric concepts too much for their daily operations. Large real estate developers use geometry in all their operations right from planning till deploying the plan. Modern geometry is thus a complete abstraction that crystallizes our ideas of the physical world, i.e., to start with.
