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.

“Every age has its temptations, its weaknesses, its dangers. Ours is in the line of the snobbish and the sordid.”
