Definition
C2Mathematics
(technical, academic)A branch that studies transformations preserving angles but not necessarily lengths or areas.
Example
- Conformal geometry is essential in understanding the properties of shapes under angle-preserving transformations.
- In conformal geometry, the angles between curves remain unchanged even though the distances may vary.
