    Algebraic Projective Geometry

    Definition

    The branch of geometry dealing with the properties and invariants of geometric figures under projection. In older literature, projective geometry is sometimes called "higher geometry, " "geometry of position, " or "descriptive geometry" (Cremona 1960, pp. v-vi). The most amazing result arising in projective geometry is the duality principle, which states that a duality exists between theorems such as Pascal's theorem and Brianchon's theorem which allows one to be instantly transformed into the other. More generally, all the propositions in projective geometry occur in dual pairs, which have the property that, starting from either proposition of a pair, the other can be immediately inferred by interchanging the parts played by the words "point" and "line."
