Desmos usually only works in 2D, though, so to make 3D projects like those in this video, you'll have to implement it yourself.

    @22:30, since there's TWO antipodal points at infinity (at the Northeast and Southwest), it's not a Riemann sphere correct? But could perhaps be thought of as two Riemann spheres superimposed over each other, with diametrically opposite points at infinity?

    • @AllenKnutson
      @AllenKnutson หลายเดือนก่อน

      (1) Correct RP^2 is not a sphere (let's skip the "Riemann" adjective). (2) I don't think it's that good an idea to think of it as two spheres S & T superimposed; that would be like saying there's a map from S union T -> RP^2. (Which I suppose there is, but) it makes more sense to say there's a two-to-one map from S -> RP^2, where each spot on S gives the spot pair on RP^2. Bringing in a second sphere T is a weird distraction, at that point.

      @@AllenKnutson Thank you. I guess I'm confused because I've been watching some Penrose videos and he often implies that the celestial sphere, which to my mind is just vision itself(?), is a Riemann sphere, but that the Riemann sphere is "not really a metric sphere" (his words). But at the same time, I thought projective space (RP^2) was supposed to be what we actually see around us day to day. Do you have any thoughts on this? It's not clear to me if points or lines at infinity are abstractions or what's really out there in front of us right now... certainly things appear to get smaller as they get further away, and artists need projective geometry to make art appear realistic. Is there a clear delineation between what geometry is abstraction and what is our actual experience?

      @@erawanpencil I don't think I know what "RP^2 is supposed to be what we actually see around us" is supposed to mean. For a one-eyed person (for simplicity), who therefore can't judge distance, what they see around them might as well be scaled to all be at distance 1, which puts it on a sphere, not onto an RP^2. The RP^2 is relevant for one-eyed people whose skulls are transparent, and so when they see an object in some direction, they not only can't tell if it's near or far, they also can't tell if it's in front or in back of them.

    • @AllenKnutson
      @AllenKnutson 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The traditional quadratic formula applies to quadratic equations in one variable. If we were looking at a general quadratic equation in two variables ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 + dx + ey + f = 0, there'd be no way to factor it. But in the case at 24:20, the equation is the homogenization of a quadratic equation in one variable, so the traditional quadratic formula can be applied.

    this is a gem, though I do get lost at a few points: 1. 6:37 why there's "got to be" a point passing through itself three times 2. 16:48 the space of answers for exactly what? Curves passing through serveral points, lines tangent to several curves and etc?

    • @taranknutson175
      @taranknutson175 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      1. This is definitely not supposed to be obvious. It can be proven but it's not important for this video 2. The number of conics through five points in particular, but also the space of lines that go through two distinct given points _and_ the space of points that lie on two distinct lines _and_ the space of lines tangent to two circles are all zero-dimensional. Thanks!

    1:23 I too prefer thinking about vertical lines as having slope with infinity but isn't that technically not correct? It should be undefined

    • @AllenKnutson
      @AllenKnutson 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's just a name. We're not going to do algebra with it, e.g. try to "multiply" two slopes together. You're worried that you got a hold of the slope as a/b, and in other contexts it's safer to say "that ratio is undefined" than to say "that ratio is infinity". In _this_ context, the reason that people like "infinity" as the name for the vertical slope is that it suggests the right "topology on the space of slopes". Concretely, you should think that just as if we consider lines with slopes 5.1, 5.01, 5.001, ... we'll sneak up on a line with slope 5, if we consider lines with slopes 10, 100, 1000, ... we'll sneak up on a line with slope infinity.

      Hmm, I'm not sure how to explain this in another way. The green line has some slope m, and by definition this means that it has the point p_m on it. The purple line is parallel, so it has the same slope, and therefore also has p_m on it. They share the point p_m in the same way that non-parallel lines share their intersection point.
