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:

    “One line typed twenty years ago
    can be blazed on a wall in spraypaint
    to glorify art as detachment
    or torture of those we
    did not love but also
    did not want to kill.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
