Examples
Examples with topological descriptions (≈ denotes homeomorphism):
- A = C complex plane : P(C) ≈ S2 = Riemann sphere
- A = H quaternion ring : P(H) ≈ S4 = One-point compactification
- A = D dual number plane : P(D) = D ∪ { U(1, x n): x ∈ R}, nn = 0
- A = M split-complex plane : P(M) ≈ hyperboloid of one sheet.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
