The approach used is to work withprojectivegeometryand choose the square of an additional basis element to be large (infinite).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Consequently, stereoscopy expresses a simplified spatial understanding of binocular vision, which might lead to aprojectivegeometryor a drawing technique.
From theCambridge English Corpus
First, he recognised that hyperbolic and elliptic geometry also emerge as special cases ofprojectivegeometry.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The distortion of metacontext is very striking, especially when one recalls from subsection 4.3 thatprojectivegeometrywas largely not concerned with applications.
From theCambridge English Corpus
First,projectivegeometrycould be constructed with hardly any reference to metrical determinations.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Lastly, "projectivegeometry" emerged (not under that name although the word "projective" was used); descriptive geometry was a major stimulus.

From theCambridge English Corpus
With the invention of ideal algebraic numbers in algebraic number theory, points at infinity, and imaginary points and curves inprojectivegeometry, this idea took on central importance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In this regard, this framework appears promising for dealing with kinematics, dynamics, andprojectivegeometryproblems without the need to abandon the mathematical system (unlike the current approaches).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Nonetheless, they are perceived both as visual and as occurring at the "impossible" location predicted byprojectivegeometry, a position symmetrically opposite the tactile stimulation but determined by visual neuroanatomy.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These three texts provide clear evidence of the emergence, during the second half of the tenth century, of a new field of study, that ofprojectivegeometry.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The introductory chapter presents a quick but clear tour ofprojectivegeometryand the basic problems associated with reconstructions from more than one point of view.
From theCambridge English Corpus
