Affine n-Space \(\mathbb{A}^n\)
The Set
n copies of the real number line.
The Structure
In geometry, this space is formed by a simple list of postulates (rules)
-
A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.
-
Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.
-
Given any straight lines segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius
and one endpoint as center.
-
All Right Angles are congruent.
-
If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles
on one side is less than two Right Angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other
on that side if extended far enough.
