geometries
noun(ge-om-e-try)a branch of mathematics concerned with describing the properties of geometric structures by algebraic expressions and especially those properties that are invariant under changes of coordinate systems; especially : the study of sets of points in space of n dimensions that satisfy systems of polynomial equations in which each equation contains n variables
