It is based on Rational Trigonometry (see my YouTube series called `Wildtrig') and is laid out from first principles in the paper `Universal Hyperbolic Geometry I: Trigonometry' on the ArXiV at<br /><br />http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.1377<br /><br />Roughly, we extend the Beltrami Klein model to the whole projective space, introduce quadrance and spread to replace distance angle, and work over a general field. Most of the usual theorems become much simpler and more elegant, and there are a raft of new theorems, often remarkable. <br /><br />Norman Wildberger (Assoc Prof UNSW)Norman Wildbergernoreply@blogger.com
