Find a projective change of coordinates












1












$begingroup$


Find a projective change of coordinates that takes the projective completion of the circumference C: $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ to the projective completion of the parabola P: $y^2=2px$, $p geq 0$




(i.e. $x^2 + y^2 = z^2$ to $y^2=2pxz$)

    I don’t get the explanation there, it becomes the regular circumference, not its completion.

    It's a change of variables in homogeneous coordinates. You can find the point on the circle that corresponds to the point at infinity $(1, 0, 0)$ on the parabola.
