| Riemann sphere .On a purely algebraic level, the complex numbers with an extra infinity element constitute a number system known as the extended complex numbers. Arithmetic with infinity does not obey all of the usual rules of algebra, and so the extended complex numbers do not form a field. However, the Riemann sphere is geometrically and analytically well-behaved, even at infinity; it is a one-dimensional complex manifold, also called a Riemann surface. Riemann_sphere | |
