Finite hyperbolic planes
The Endeavour @ 2026-11-09 15:26:09
Euclid’s fifth postulate says that given a line ℓ and a point P not on ℓ , there is a unique line through P parallel to ℓ. In the projective plane there are no parallel lines, and in the hyperbolic plane there are at least two lines through P parall
