Example Extended
If V is a subvariety of an n-dimensional vector space, defined by an ideal I, then R = Fn/I, where Fn is the ring of smooth/analytic/holomorphic functions on this vector space. The Zariski tangent space at x is
- mn / ( I+mn2 ),
where mn is the maximal ideal consisting of those functions in Fn vanishing at x.
In the planar example above, I = <F>, and I+m2 =

Famous quotes containing the word extended:
“The civility which money will purchase, is rarely extended to those who have none.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“Whenever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on.... The small landowners are the most precious part of a state.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
