A way of systematizing different geometries by geometrical transformations is presented by using Klein’s perspective. Symmetry is considered the basic precedent, and different groups of transformations are introduced by using Erlangen program ideas. So, to focus on the importance of geometric transformations, two purposes are shown: first, the classification of geometries is based on the invariants of geometric transformations; and second, the construction of geometry unlike the theory of deduction can be done by means of geometric transformations.
