Explore the fundamental concepts of mathematical space and geometric duality in this 33-minute video lecture. Delve into the representation and conceptualization of space in mathematics, focusing on the essential duality between affine and projective views. Learn how the Cartesian revolution of the 17th century built geometry upon a foundation of arithmetic, specifically using rational numbers. Discover useful notations for points and proportions, and gain insight into the geometrical relationship between the affine line and the projective line. This lecture, part of the Math Foundations series, provides a comprehensive introduction to these crucial mathematical concepts, enhancing your understanding of rational geometry.
