(n) : (geometry) A non-Euclidean geometry, that features the hyperbola as geodesic, and has constant negative curvature
(n) : (geometry) A type of geometry that rejects the parallel postulate. Given a straight line L and a point p not on L, more than one straight line can be drawn through p without intersecting L.
