Pairs of Pants and Congruence Laws of Geometry - Rose
... There are six degrees of freedom in choosing the point of a triangle. Translating a vertex to a given point and rotating a side about that point uses up three degrees of freedom. So he should only be three degrees of freedom for congruence classes of triangles We also have three sides and three angl ...

Math 3329-Uniform Geometries — Lecture 11 1. The sum of three
... Figure 1. 4ABC has the same angle sum as 4AF B. In any case, we know that the smallest angle of 4F EB is less than or equal to half the smallest angle of 4ABC. 3. Angle sums of triangles in neutral geometry cannot exceed 180◦ In the last section, we proved the following statement. Theorem 2. Given a ...

3-manifold
In mathematics, a 3-manifold is a space that locally looks like Euclidean 3-dimensional space. Intuitively, a 3-manifold can be thought of as a possible shape of the universe. Just like a sphere looks like a plane to a small enough observer, all 3-manifolds look like our universe does to a small enough observer. This is made more precise in the definition below.
