It isn't. Geometry is only loosely involved with billiards. Physics has significantly more impact. Geometry can be used to determine single rail bank shots of the simplest types, and can be used to determine ball movement after impact for simple shots. However, rotational momentum, slide, english, rail induced english, and center of mass calculations all impact a shot such that simple geometry is not sufficent for anything other than the simplest shots to determine what will occur.

How is billiards related to math?

Billiards is not directly related to math, but is related to advanced math - Geometry, trigonometry, calculus and physics can all be used and demontrated with the complex actions that occur on a billiards table. At least one US professor uses billiards as a part of complex physics demonstrations.


Do you frequently use geometry without identifying it as geometry?

Absolutely! If you're trying to find your way home and want to travel the shortest distance possible you're using geometry. If you're playing billiards or pool you definitely use geometry to decide what angle to shoot at. When you park your car you need to use geometry to determine if you'll fit in a space and how to get in.
