Forms: form: affine geometries
Senses: examples: text: As an alternative to the axiomatic approach, affine geometry can be studied via the properties of affine transformations, which do not, in general, preserve distances or angles, but do preserve alignment of points and parallelism of lines.
text: The notion of parallelism remains central to affine geometry, in which the parallel postulate is replaced by Playfair's axiom, a version of the postulate that relies on neither distance nor angle size.
text: 1940 [McGraw-Hill], E. T. Bell, The Development of Mathematics, 2017 [1992], Dover, page 265,
To include affine geometry, Menger (1935) imposed on lattices a reasonable axiom of parallelism.
text: 1953 [Addison-Wesley], Dirk J. Struik, Lectures on Analytic and Projective Geometry, 2014, Dover, page 108,
And affine geometry itself can be considered as the geometry of all projective transformations which leave a line invariant.
text: Affine geometry is the geometry of an n-dimensional vector space together with its inhomogeneous linear structure.[…]Arbitrary affine linear maps take affine linear subspaces into one another, and also preserve collinearity of points, parallels and ratios of distances along parallel lines; all these are thus well defined notions of affine geometry.

glosses: The branch of geometry dealing with what can be deduced in Euclidean geometry when the notions of line length and angle size are ignored.
examples: text: This chapter is devoted to the theory of affine geometries: those incidence geometries which satisfy the Euclidean parallel postulate in Playfair's form (Ch. 2, Sec. 2).

Language: English

Forms: form: affine transformations
Senses: examples: text: An affine transformation does not in general preserve angles between lines or distances between points, but it does preserve ratios of distances between points lying on a straight line.
text: Given an affine space X, every affine transformation on X can be represented as the composition of a linear transformation on X and a translation of X.
text: Examples of affine transformations include translation, scaling, homothety, similarity, reflection, rotation, shear and compositions of them in any combination and sequence.
text: Just as for plane transformations, we may show that the set of all affine transformations of space form a group.
Under an affine transformation of space, the image of a line is a line, and the image of a plane is a plane.

text: Theorem 15.2 A transformation such that the images of every three collinear points are themselves collinear is an affine transformation.
Are the affine transformations the same as those transformations for which the images of any three noncollinear points are themselves noncollinear? We shall see the answer is "Yes."
