This is another kind of non-Euclidean geometry (the first being hyperbolic geometry).

Editors, please check the traditional chars.

(Maybe this word should not be in MDBG because it is a compound. But Euclidean plane geometry, spherical geometry and hyperbolic geometry form a natural triple. MDBG already has an entry for "plane geometry," and two (!) for "Lobachevsky's non-Euclidean geometry," which is an awkard circumlocution for hyperbolic geometry. If 球面几何 does not belong maybe the others do not either.)

--------------------------------

Editor: Lobachevsky is mentioned in the definition of 羅氏幾何 because the 羅 is short for 羅巴切夫斯基 (Lobachevsky).
