geometry
Branch of mathematics related to questions of shape, size, relative position of figures and the properties of space.
geometry — branch of mathematics related to questions of shape, size, relative position of figures and the properties of space. McKinsey's Skill Change Index places it in the declining band (SCI 52.97/100) — a skill likely to fall in demand as AI and automation cover more of its ground by 2030. ESCO classifies it as a cross-sector (useful across many industries) skill within knowledge. It is currently listed by 3 occupations in our catalogue, including lathe and turning machine operator, pipeline engineer, and computer-aided design operator.
