Affine Spaces
Affine spaces can be defined in an analogous manner to the construction of affine planes from projective planes. It is also possible to provide a system of axioms for the higher dimensional affine spaces which does not refer to the corresponding projective space.

Famous quotes containing the word spaces:
“Surely, we are provided with senses as well fitted to penetrate the spaces of the real, the substantial, the eternal, as these outward are to penetrate the material universe. Veias, Menu, Zoroaster, Socrates, Christ, Shakespeare, Swedenborg,—these are some of our astronomers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
