Things often have a shape

What is space? Well, it can be Euclidean, but it may also be non-Euclidean, and have curvature!

Euclidean geometry

The elements. Has some subtle flaws in mathematical rigour. Fifth postulate, in particular, was controversial.

See pages 88 and forth in GEB.

one can let the meanings of "point" and "line", and so on be determined by the set of theorems (or propositions) in which they occur. These are called undefined terms, and they only get meaning through these theorems.
