Join us as we define a whole new algebraic structure, starting from the axioms of the projective plane. This seminar will be aimed at students who have never seen this material and will focus on hands-on constructions of classic (and new!) algebraic structures that can arise from a projective plane. The goal of this seminar is to expose you to Desargues's theorem and hopefully even examine non-Desarguesian planes.
