One of the most important mathematical advances occurred in the 1800's with the introduction of homogeneous coordinates to describe the true nature of the projective plane.
This video is part of the WildTrig series, which introduces Rational Trigonometry and applies it to many different aspects of geometry.
Video Content:
00:00 Projective geometry
02:28 Lines in 3D space are projective points
04:09 Homogeneous coordinates

Screenshot PDFs for my videos are available at the website http://wildegg.com. These give you a concise overview of the contents of the lectures for various Playlists: great for review, study and summary.
My research papers can be found at my Research Gate page, at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/...
My blog is at http://njwildberger.com/, where I will discuss lots of foundational issues, along with other things.
Online courses will be developed at openlearning.com. The first one, already underway is Algebraic Calculus One at https://www.openlearning.com/courses/... Please join us for an exciting new approach to one of mathematics' most important subjects!
