In terms of mathematics: Plane geometry is the study of the geometric structure and metric properties (area, length, angle) of straight lines and quadratic curves (i.e. conic sections, i.e. ellipses, hyperbolas and parabolas) on the plane. Solid geometry is the traditional name for the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean space—generally used as a follow-up course to plane geometry. Stereo mapping deals with the measurement of volumes of different shapes: cylinders, cones, frustum, spheres, prisms, wedges, bottle caps, etc. Analytical geometry refers to a branch of geometry that uses coordinate systems to study the relationships and properties between set objects using algebraic methods. It is also called coordinate geometry.

I wish you progress in your studies!
