Extract
In his Geometric Algebra (New York, 1957) E. Artin poses the problem of co-ordinatizing an affine plane in the following terms.
How little do we have to assume, from a geometric point of view, about an affine plane, in order to be able to describe its points by pairs of elements of a field, and its lines by linear equations?
