HyperbolicWhat is it?• Hyperbolic geometry is an alternative of Euclidean geometry & Spherical geometry

• Hyperbolic Space has negative Curvature & equivalent to anegative number.

• The Surface curves away from itself on every point. An Infinite number of lines can be drawnthrough one point that never meet the original line. Ultra-parallel lines

-Margaret Wertheim
