comparison of common geometries

In this entry, the most common models of the three most common two-dimensional geometries (Euclidean (http://planetmath.org/EuclideanGeometry), hyperbolic (http://planetmath.org/HyperbolicGeometry), and spherical (http://planetmath.org/SphericalGeometry)) will be considered.

The following abbreviations will be used in this entry:

•
$E^{2}$ for the Euclidean plane (the most common model for two-dimensional Euclidean geometry);
•
$\\mathbb{H}^{2}$ for two-dimensional hyperbolic geometry;
•
$B K$ for the Beltrami-Klein model of $\\mathbb{H}^{2}$ ;
•
$P D$ for the Poincaré disc model of $\\mathbb{H}^{2}$ ;
•
$U H P$ for the upper half plane model of $\\mathbb{H}^{2}$ ;
•
$S^{2}$ for the unit sphere (the most common model for two-dimensional spherical geometry).
