descriptive geometry, branch of geometry concerned with the two-dimensional representation of three-dimensional objects; it was introduced in 1795 by Gaspard Monge.
By means of such representations, geometrical problems in three dimensions may be solved in the plane.
(Such problems arise in all branches of engineering.) Modern mechanical drawing and architectural drawing are based on the principles of descriptive geometry.

Geometry is concerned with the properties of space and of objects in space, e.g.
In its most elementary form geometry is concerned with such metrical problems as determining the areas and diameters of two-dimensional figures and the surface areas and volumes of solids.
The discovery of non-Euclidean geometries inspired a new approach to the subject by presenting theorems in terms of axioms applied to properties assigned to undefined elements called points and lines, not necessarily limited to the classical study of flat surfaces (plane geometry) and rigid three-dimensional objects (solid geometry).
