Euclidean plane?
Please tell me, is the Euclidean plane the concept of two dimensional space only, or is it the concept of 2D space + something else? ~ R.T.G 07:11, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- "Plane" specifies that it's two-dimensional. --142.112.159.101 (talk) 07:47, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- Yes it's definitely a 2D plane on which to do graphs and plots and stuff, however, if you search for sources "Euclidean plane" specifically... it no longer seems to be just the plane. One catch phrase seems to be, "it satisfies the axioms (Π'A1), (Π'A2), and (Π'A3)", explanations as to what that means are not included... ~ R.T.G 09:38, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- Why don’t you try to include enough information in your question so that others have some dim hope of understanding what you’re asking about. Right now answering appears to require being able to read your mind. —JBL (talk) 13:53, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- Pretty sure what the OP is referring to is , the page on sciencedirect.com. The page is cryptic and it's apparent purpose is to sell books rather than educate. I'd suggest trying a different website (like Misplaced Pages). It's pointless to spend time trying to decipher a confusing or poorly written text when there are so many others to choose from at this level. --RDBury (talk) 14:17, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- A Euclidean plane is a two dimensional area for plotting maths in. Is there something else specific about it that makes it a Euclidean plane, rather than just a plane used for geometry?

- I'm looking for someone who can not only use a Euclidean plane, but describe it before and without, using math terms or figures, to you know, for like, someone who doesn't already know what it is, no really, they don't know what it is, but I want to explain it to them. No, they aren't stupid. It's me. I'm stupid. I can only explain things without math terms and figures. No, it's discriminatory to abuse me. Let's see, what other info was there? One of my favourite quotes from the guides that I am sure is gone now used to say, something like, "Try to write the article as though the reader has a perfect understanding of English, but has never heard of the subject before."
- Don't worry, if you are just a simple math professor and this is beyond you... that's okay! That just means you are normal! ~ R.T.G 16:49, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- If you actually have a question you want answered, I recommend you devote some energy to communicating the question clearly -- performative rambling is not a good substitute. --JBL (talk) 17:10, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- The question is obvious and simple. Answer it, improve it, or get out the way? I'm not seeking approval. You are berating me for amusement. I've showed my sense of humour. There is no need to test me for patience. Thanks anyway o/ ~ R.T.G 18:31, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- I am telling you (again) that you have not articulated a question, at least not one with sufficient context for anyone else to know what might constitute an answer that would satisfy you. If you want a question answered, you should ask it clearly and concisely, with appropriate context. If you just want to jerk off, do it in private. --JBL (talk) 21:17, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
- I am really sorry to inform you you failed. The properties of Euclidean plane appeared very interesting to me some time ago, so now I tried to follow this thread - alas, could not find a sense of humor in it. And not only a sense of humor, but actually little sense at all. What a pity, it could have been an interesting talk... --CiaPan (talk) 21:34, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
