Title:  Introduction to Projective Geometry
                                                                                
Much of computer graphics deals with displaying objects in 3-space
realistically onto a 2-dimensional screen.  Projective geometry provides the
theory for performing calculations such as rotations, translations, and
scalings from arbitrary points of view.  I will present an introduction to
projective geometry.  I will start with a brief history of the origins of
projective geometry, in particular, it's relations to Renaissance painting.
This will be followed by an intuitive explanation of projective geometry and
the topology of the projective plane.  Finally, I will give a formal
algebraic description of projective geometry with some fundamental
properties and theorems.
