which the hyperbolic geodesics are represented as Euclidean straight line segments), think of this disk or ball as being the projection of a higher-dimensional Euclidean sphere, and lift the line segments vertically onto the upper hemisphere. The resulting representations of hyperbolic geodesics on the hemisphere are always the intersections of the hemisphere with vertical planes, producing exactly semicircles perpendicular to the boundary. —

is necessary to return this comment or completely remove inappropriate references to this mathematician. When I studied the topic of non-Euclidean spaces at the university (including the history of this branch of mathematics), I never heard that name. I think that says a lot. Attempts to turn Knowledge into a stronghold of communist propaganda should not be allowed.

I assumed that this conversation would boil down to insults. I am 67 years old, and I will not allow myself to be treated like that! I have been using Knowledge for over a dozen years, but I have never seen anyone allow the communists to promote their ideology here. Are you russian or do you work for

If there are any mentions, it happens only in the context of describing the propaganda by russians/communists, who in every field of science tried to come up with their own "discoverers". This is wildness and cannot be seriously mentioned on Knowledge outside of the section on historical absurdities.
818:
removed the note that the mention of russian mathematician-plagiarist has more to do with Soviet Cold War propaganda than historical facts. This name is not used in any serious English-language source, in extreme cases it is mentioned as an alternative with a reference to the Iron Curtain. I think it

and, in fact, it is already mentioned several times in the article. I just disagreed with your statement about it being the only way to embed a hyperbolic 2-space into an Euclidean 3-space. Although now, I am not so sure that you were wrong. Also a small part of the pseudosphere might well look like
697:
You are thinking of geodesics for the spherical geometry on the hemisphere, I think? It is a different geometry than the one described here and has different geodesics. Another way to think of the hemisphere model of hyperbolic geometry: take the Klein model (a disk or ball in Euclidean space in
545:
To JRSpriggs: The usual case is for infinite space and this is what is normally understood. Is there any mention of special finite Euclidean constructions in the article?. But anyway why are you so much against mentioning the pseudo-sphere? As I said it has historical importance.
921:, it was purely because it had the right number of syllables, and not because of any actual history, right? There is no serious dispute that Lobachevksy should be listed with Gauss and Bolyai as one of the founders of hyperbolic geometry, and the first to publish of the three. — 875:
This is just nonsense I'm not going to answer. I'm still curious about a reference on the history of geometry that doe not mention Lobachevsky in relation with hyperbolic geometry or that substitutes your wild claims, let me know if you find or recall one. Cheers,

to the boundary must either pass through the point (0, 0, +1) or be the intersection of hemisphere with a vertical plane which does not pass through (0. 0. 0). Any geodesic in the hemisphere must be the intersection of the hemisphere with a plane which
662:. Lethe described the geodesics in the hemisphere model as "semicircles orthogonal to boundary". I reverted him saying "some are, but some are not.". Then David Eppstein reverted me with the challenge "Describe one that is not.". 447: 332: 476:
negative curvature is the pseudo-sphere which looks quite unlike the diagram shown. As far as I can see, the pseudo-sphere is not mentioned in the article although it has some historical importance.

To JFB80: If the surface is finite in extent, having a boundary, then it does not have to be the pseudo-sphere. If you disagree, please provide a citation or a proof.
834:
I'm curious about which book would talk about the "history of this branch of mathematics" and not mention Lobachevsky, do you have any available references? Cheers,
