The Analytic Approach: Projective Planes over a Field
摘要
Projective geometry is developed analytically. Affine and projective planes are defined over fields, followed by an exposition of duality. We then investigate automorphisms of the projective plane over a field and determine the structure of the automorphism group. Some of these properties are then used to prove Desargues’ and Pappus’ Theorems. Projectivities and harmonic points are also covered.
