Is there more than one kind of geometry?
There are different kinds of geometry including elementary geometry, Euclidean geometry, and Elliptic Geometry.
Who discovered the geometric cone?
Apollonius of Perga (c. 262-c. 190 bc) did to it what Euclid had done to the geometry of Plato's time. Apollonius reproduced known results much more generally and discovered many new properties of the figures. He first proved that all conics are sections of any circular cone, right or oblique. Apollonius introduced the terms ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola for curves produced by intersecting a circular cone with a plane at an angle less than, greater than, and equal to, respectively, the opening angle of the cone.
What is a cone bearer?
A cone bearer is a cone that bears
