Affine differential geometry

Affine differential geometry is a type of geometry that studies how shapes can change. This kind of geometry looks at things like angles, curves, distances, and shapes. Imagine a map - when it's squished or stretched (changed), it looks different. This is because the angles and distances between the points on the map (shapes) have changed. Affine differential geometry looks at how these kind of changes happen.
