| contents | It is noteworthy that symmetric teleparallel gravity has attracted considerable attention in recent years. A survey of the literature indicates that this surge of interest became particularly prominent around 2017 and 2018. However, together with my students and collaborators, we published a series of systematic and pioneering papers on this subject between 2004 and 2013. This article aims to clarify the early geometric development of symmetric teleparallel gravity preceding the recent surge of interest in $f(Q)$ gravity. For the sake of completeness and coherence, we will also briefly review our work on this topic carried out after 2018. In the final paragraph, we will write our personal perspectives on the future of symmetric teleparallel geometry. |
