Projective Line

In mathematics, a projective line is a one-dimensional projective space. The projective line over a field K, denoted P1(K), may be defined as the set of one-dimensional subspaces of the two-dimensional vector space K2 (it does carry other geometric structures).

For the generalisation to the projective line over an associative ring, see inversive ring geometry.

Famous quotes containing the word line:

    “This is something that I cannot get over—that a whole line could be written by half a man, that a work could be built on the quicksand of a character.”
    —Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
