Projective Varieties

The basic objects of study in projective geometry are projective varieties. In this video, we define projective varieties and show that any projective conic is isomorphic to the projective line. This fundamental fact is another example of how many facts in algebraic geometry are most naturally stated in the projective setting.

I want to express my interest in seeing more lectures on related topics, and to say thanks for all of the time that you have already devoted to making these enjoyable and educational presentations.
