Course Description

Projective Geometry examines those properties of geometric figures that remain unchanged by a central projection. Perspective in art, images of conic section under projection analyzed through point at infinity and duality are the beauty of Projective geometry.

The General Objectives of the Course

The aim of the course is to provide students with an introduction to axiomatic system Projective geometry. The course will begin by looking at incidence structure and end with Projective space.
On successful completion of the course the students will be able to:
·         to let students; understand the concept incidence structure and prove basic results of planes
·         to enable students' to understand the basic results of Projective transformation
·         to help students' to analyze and describe connection on Desarguesian and Papian plane 
·         to acquaint students' with the knowledge of Projective space
