Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to research modern geometries and introduce Felix Klein's Erlanger Programm. It gives an overview of the Erlanger Programm approach to studying geoemtry using Euclidean Geometry, then introduces some modern geometries. These geometries include: hyperbolic geometry, elliptic geometry and Mobius geometry.
