Geometry of Spaces of Constant Curvature

Spaces of constant curvature, i.e. Euclidean space, the sphere, and Lobachevskij space, occupy a special place in geometry. They are most accessible to our geometric intuition, making it possible to develop elementary geometry in a way very similar to that used to create the geometry we learned at school. However, since its basic notions can be interpreted in different ways, this geometry can be applied to objects other than the conventional physical space, the original source of our geometric intuition.
