What do we Expect?

Jim Hatton September 2012

Intersecting Lines

One “Point” – A “Loop”

Map the Number Line onto [-1,1]

Jim Hatton September 2012

Map Number Line Take 1

“captured” point at infinity .

Gave up “normal” distance metric

Map the Number Line onto [-1,1]

Jim Hatton September 2012

Map Number Line Take 2

All “points” the same.

Identify all antipodal points

Map the Number Line onto [-1,1]

Jim Hatton September 2012

Map Number Line Take 3

But we want to be looking at only one point

Map the Number Line onto [-1,1]

Jim Hatton September 2012

Map Number Line Take 4

So far, so good

Extend to Mapping the plane to the disk

The 3D Version – Plane onto a Sphere

Jim Hatton September 2012

Plane on a Sphere

We can draw a plane curve on a sphere

Now extend by mapping the plane to the disk

The 3D Version – Plane onto a Sphere – Part II

Jim Hatton September 2012

Plane on a Sphere- Part II

We can draw a plane curve on a sphere onto a disk

The Disk Model of the Projective Plane

Antipodal Points are Identified!

The Disk Model of the Projective Plane

We just stared at infinity!

Now compare behavior at infinity.
