Moulton Plane - Application

Application

The Moulton plane is an affine plane in which Desargues' theorem does not hold. The associated projective plane is consequently non-desarguesian as well. This means that there are projective planes not isomorphic to for any (skew) field F. Here is the projective plane determined by a 3-dimensional vector space.

Famous quotes containing the word application:

    The main object of a revolution is the liberation of man ... not the interpretation and application of some transcendental ideology.
    Jean Genet (1910–1986)

    May my application so close
    To so endless a repetition
    Not make me tired and morose
    And resentful of man’s condition.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.
    Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
