POSTULAT KESEJAJARAN EUCLID DALAM TINJAUAN SEJARAH

Abstract: This paper tracks the history of Euclid’s fifth postulate or parallel postulate. It is a long term postulate and dificult to be understood, and can evoke misunderstanding. Moreover,  this  postulate  had  evoked  discourse  among  mathematicians  about  its dependency  with  other  postulates  for  a  long  time  untill  the  19th  century.  The  discourse related to assuredness of mathematician after Euclid’s era is whether or not Euclid’s fifth postulate can be deduced from other four postulates. But, the discourse became precisely a cause of finding of new geometry system, called non-Euclide geometry.
Keywords:  dependancy, discourse, Euclid’s parallel postulate
