The projective plane <b>P</b><sup>2</sup>

TL;DRAbstract

We now come to a geometric structure that is more abstract than the previous two we have dealt with. The geometry of the projective plane will resemble that of the sphere in many respects. However, we regain the Euclidean phenomenon that two lines can intersect only once. The projective plane will also be a foundation for our study of hyperbolic geometry in Chapter 7.
