Abraham de Moivre states de Moivre's formula connecting trigonometric functions and complex numbers

Differential geometry combines geometry with the techniques of calculus to provide a method for studying geometry on curved surfaces. Gauss and Riemann (his student) laid the foundation of this field. Einstein credits Gauss with formulating the mathematical fundamentals of the theory of relativity.

Since mathematicians couldn't prove the 5th postulate, they devised new geometries with "strange" notions of parallelism
-
Euclid gave five postulates. The fifth postulate reads: Given a line and a point not on the line, it is possible to draw exactly one line through the given point parallel to the line.
-
General relativity (GR) is a theory of gravitation that was developed by Albert Einstein in 1907.

I predict that geometry will have many more theroms in the future of 2030 and will help make robots.
