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.

“I love them
for finding what
I cant find,
and for loving me
for the line I wrote,
and for forgetting it....”
