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.

“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)
