Incidence Geometry

Incidence geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the relationships between points and lines, focusing on how they interact. It explores which points lie on which lines and the various configurations that arise from these arrangements. Unlike traditional geometry, incidence geometry does not necessarily involve distances or angles but instead emphasizes the connectivity between objects. This field can help us understand basic properties of geometric structures and has applications in areas like combinatorics, projective geometry, and even computer science, where the arrangement of data points can represent geometric concepts.
