Is Euclidean geometry obsolete?

Euclidean geometry is obsolete. Even those students who go into mathematics will probably never use it again.

Why Euclidean geometry is important?

Despite its antiquity, it remains one of the most important theorems in mathematics. It enables one to calculate distances or, more important, to define distances in situations far more general than elementary geometry. For example, it has been generalized to multidimensional vector spaces.

Why is geometry taught in high school?

Geometry allows students to connect mapping objects in the classroom to real-world contexts regarding direction and place. Understanding of spatial relationships is also considered important in the role of problem solving and higher-order thinking skills.

Is Euclidean geometry still relevant?

In fact, the novelty of learning to prove something was back at Euclidean geometry as the high point of our mathematics education. In recent years, the value of Euclid has depreciated considerably. A vigorous debate is now going on about how much, if any, of his work is still relevant. In this

Is Euclid geometry still an unassailable model?

In a confusing path-not-taken, when Euclid no longer seemed like an unassailable model of ideal standards of proof, attempts were made to produce an improved axiomatisation of Euclidean geometry.

Do we need proofs in high school geometry?

Presents a perspective on the nature of the use of proofs in high school geometry. Compares three currently used approaches to the geometry curriculum: (1) traditional geometry with no explanation of the axiomatic system; (2) hands-on geometry with no proofs until the end of the course; and (3) experimental geometry with no proofs. (DDR)

Should geometry be taught as an axiomatic math?

Yes, not exactly like in Euclid’s Elements which is fairly complicated, but an axiomatic approach to geometry should be taught. Mathematics in elementary school is primarily memorization and arithmetic computations. Algebra is taught by formulas and algorithms to solve equations.
