The Department of Planetary Science tasks you to act as a Theoretical Mathematician or Space Surveyor, analyzing non-Euclidean geometry scenarios to classify planetary surfaces. You will survey three hypothetical “Planets” by measuring the angle sums (Sigma, Σ) of large triangles drawn on their surfaces, using the concept of angular defect to determine each planet’s geometry. This focus on non-Euclidean systems is necessary because Euclidean geometry, where triangle angle sums equal 180° for flat spaces, cannot accurately model curved celestial bodies. Such analysis is critical for mapping planetary topographies, understanding how gravity shapes spatial structure, and advancing foundational knowledge of cosmic geometry. You will prepare a concise analytical memo that includes defect calculations, geometry classifications, and a one-sentence explanation of what a 20° Defect on Planet Beta implies about the size of triangles drawn there.
