ab: Summary: Introducing models of hyperbolic geometry informally in the
    setting of different worlds lets students naturally come up with the
    idea that lines (shortest paths) can look like parts of Euclidean
    circles. By learning to think like inhabitants of these worlds,
    students are able to abandon their totally Euclidean view of lines and
    take ownership of hyperbolic geometry.
