Have You Come up With a Conclusion?

I hope you are now able to determine what non-Euclidean geometry is and how it came into existence throughout the minds of brilliant mathematicians. Of course, we are not saying that Euclidean geometry is useless; after all, its practices were numerous and its services were 'uncountable'. But as our math professor, Dr. Abi Khuzam in AUB once told us, "it all depends on the way you wish to view the world". We started off with linear algebra and extended it to non-linear algebra and we do the same with geometry and practically all other fields. The beauty of our universe is held in the fact that it is special, also non-linear and math is simply trying to simplify its complexity. No matter how hard we try to approach the meaning of life and grab to it, we must acknowledge that other people will have a different approach than ours. Of course, our approaches are correct as much as we want them to be correct, however, they must be flexible and adaptive, so as not to hold us back in our short simple life.
