Geometry beyond Euclid: The evolution of geometry in the last 150 years has changed our culture. He knows the School?

We propose the organization of a process of expansion of the Euclidean model for teaching. In the last national instructions and guidelines, relating to geometry, it just makes some confused nod to structures which are the basis of modern physics (geometry on curved space), art and Architecture (pro...
