Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematics, a fake projective space is a complex algebraic variety that has the same Betti numbers as some projective space, but is not isomorphic to it. There are exactly 50 fake projective planes. Prasad & Yeung (2006) found four examples of fake projective 4-folds, and showed that no arithmetic examples exist in dimensions other than 2 and 4. Geometry "Earth-Measuring" is a part of mathematics concerned with questions of size, shape, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. Geometry is one of the oldest sciences. Initially a body of practical knowledge concerning lengths, areas, and volumes, in the 3rd century BC geometry was put into an axiomatic form by Euclid, whose treatment Euclidean geometry set a standard for many centuries to follow. The field of astronomy, especially mapping the positions of the stars and planets on the celestial sphere, served as an important source of geometric problems during the next one and a half millennia. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer.
