functions of one complex variable: geometric theory Thank you, Alexandre. What are good books on elementary complex analysis which are more or less geometric? |

functions of one complex variable: geometric theory -- i.e., it looks to be a nice book, but starts with more advanced things |

functions of one complex variable: geometric theory Steve, I just found a book by Rick Miranda called "Algebraic curves and Riemann surfaces". However, it assumes that elementary complex analysis is already known (definitely such things as the notion of holomorphic function and equivalence of several definitions of it), and geometry of maps like $z^n$) |

who invented projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$? Michael, the current version of the Wikipedia page on Projective geometry does not answer these questions, I checked before posting... |

who invented projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$? Francesko, thank you. Very helpful. Interestingly, the article says that "Möbius' original formulation of homogeneous coordinates specified the position of a point as the center of mass (or barycenter) of a system of three point masses placed at the vertices of a fixed triangle". -- I.e., his goal was different rather than the completion of $\mathbb{A}^n$! |
