Projective line

In mathematics, a projective line is, roughly speaking, the extension of a usual line by a point called a point at infinity. The statement and the proof of many theorems of geometry are simplified by the resultant elimination of special cases; for example, two distinct projective lines in a projective plane meet in exactly one point (there is no "parallel" case). There are many equivalent ways to formally define a projective line; one of the most common is to define a projective line over a field K, commonly denoted P1(K), as the set of one-dimensional subspaces of a two-dimensional K-vector space. This definition is a special instance of the general definition of a projective space. The projective line over the reals is a manifold; see real projective line for details. (Wikipedia).

Projective Coordinates for Points and Lines | Algebraic Calculus One | Wild Egg and Anna Tomskova

Dr Anna Tomskova explains a more modern framework for projective geometry where the extra coordinate often associated with infinity is the first coordinate in a projective vector. This gives us a uniform way to associate to affine points and lines projective points and lines, with the adva

What is a line segment and ray

👉 Learn essential definitions of points, lines, and planes. A point defines a position in space. A line is a set of points. A line can be created by a minimum of two points. A plane is a flat surface made up of at least three points. A plane contains infinite number of lines. A ray is a li

Projective geometry | Math History | NJ Wildberger

Projective geometry began with the work of Pappus, but was developed primarily by Desargues, with an important contribution by Pascal. Projective geometry is the geometry of the straightedge, and it is the simplest and most fundamental geometry. We describe the important insights of the 19

The projective line can be given a Euclidean structure, just as the affine line can, but it is a bit more complicated. The algebraic structure of this projective line supports some symmetries. Symmetry in mathematics is often most efficiently encoded with the idea of a group--a technical t
