No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

In this lecture we give a short account of the history of Non-Euclidean Geometry. This resulted in Hyperbolic Geometry which now enters significantly in Differential Geometry, Lie Groups, Integral Geometry, Analysis and Number Theory. In this lecture we indicate some of these developments.
