| Are the words "Non-Euclidean Geometry" more well-known than the words "Pasch's Axiom"? |
|
If they are more well-known, then I will be able to ask a question that is (in my opinion) much more interesting than the question in the title of this thread.

| 3. Non-Euclidian geometry sounds familiar because Euclidian geometry is typically studied. |

non-Euclidian geometry is far less familiar. I know of Pasch's axiom.

I've known non-euclidian geometry since I was a kid (4th grade or so). I had to look up Pasch's axiom just now.
