In mathematics, non-Euclidean geometry consists of two geometries based on axioms closely related to those that specify Euclidean geometry.As Euclidean geometry lies at the intersection of metric geometry and affine geometry, non-Euclidean geometry arises by either replacing the parallel postulate with an alternative, or relaxing the metric requirement.
A set of dice is intransitive (or nontransitive) if it contains X>2 dice, X1, X2, and X3... with the property that X1 rolls higher than X2 more than half the time, and X2 rolls higher than X3 etc... more than half the time, but where it is not true that X1 rolls higher than Xn more than half the time.

C.a.R.– Compass and Ruler (also known as Z.u.L., which stands for the German "Zirkel und Lineal") — is a free and open source interactive geometry app that can do geometrical constructions in Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry. The software is Java based. The author is René Grothmann of the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt.
The world of HyperRogue is characterized by its non-Euclidean geometry, precisely hyperbolic geometry; [6] this affects many aspects of the game. [7] [8]Basic gameplay. The player can use the negative curvature to escape situations which would be impossible to escape in a similar game in the Euclidean grid.
Geometry of Complex Numbers is an undergraduate textbook on geometry, whose topics include circles, the complex plane, inversive geometry, and non-Euclidean geometry. It was written by Hans Schwerdtfeger , and originally published in 1962 as Volume 13 of the Mathematical Expositions series of the University of Toronto Press .
The conventional meaning of Non-Euclidean geometry is the one set in the nineteenth century: the fields of elliptic geometry and hyperbolic geometry created by dropping the parallel postulate. These are very special types of Riemannian geometry , of constant positive curvature and constant negative curvature respectively.
