P: Consent of instructor. Homogeneous linear equations and linear dependence; projections and rigid motions, homogeneous Cartesian coordinates; linear dependence of points and lines; point geometry and line geometry; harmonic division and cross ratio; one and two-dimensional projective transformations. Continuation of study of projective coordinates in the plane; introduces various types of geometries; study of point curves and line curves with intensive study of point conics and line conics.
