Abstract

An effective tool to really understand Euclidean geometry is the study of alternative models and their applications. In fact, they allow you to understand the real extent of various axioms that, when viewed from the Euclidean geometry, seem obvious or even unnecessary. The work begins with a review of Hilbert's axiomatic, starting from more general point of view adopted by Albrecht Beutelspacher and Ute Rosenbaum in their book on the fundamentals of general projective geometry, defined by a system of incidence axioms.
