mathematical treatise by Euclid
parallel postulate
axiom in Euclidean geometry
Hilbert's axioms
formal system
Pasch's axiom
statement in plane geometry, used implicitly by Euclid, which cannot be derived from the postulates as Euclid gave them
Playfair's axiom
statement equivalent to Euclid's parallel postulate, that given a line and a point not on it, there is at most one line parallel to the given line through the point

Hilbert's fourth problem
one of twenty-three, asking to construct all metric spaces where lines resemble those on a sphere
Birkhoff's axioms
postulates of Euclidean geometry
Pasch's theorem
theorem
foundations of geometry
study of geometries as axiomatic systems. There are several sets of axioms which give rise to Euclidean geometry or to non-Euclidean geometries
Tarski's axioms
first-order axiomatization of a fragment of Euclidean geometry
