Riemann Number Sphere: Stereographic Projection of Complex Numbers
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
① This example demonstrates the construction of the Riemann sphere, mapping points from the complex plane onto a unit sphere via stereographic projection, illustrating the one-to-one correspondence between complex numbers and points on the sphere. ② Core mathematical concepts include the extended complex plane, stereographic projection, the point at infinity, and geometric transformations on the sphere; it also involves basic geometric elements such as spheres and line segments. ③ Construction highlights: using GeoGebra's Sphere command to create the unit sphere, Segment command to draw the projection line from the north pole to a complex plane point, with objects including sphere center S, north pole N, complex plane point C, sphere projection point Z, function f, and the Equator; dynamically adjusting the complex point reveals the projection changes. ④ Suitable for high school to university-level teaching of complex numbers, introductory complex analysis, or geometric visualization courses, helping students understand the representation of complex numbers on a sphere and the concept of infinity.

Draw a unit sphere with a line segment projecting from the north pole to a point on the complex plane, showing the correspondence between complex numbers and points on the sphere. Adjust the complex plane point dynamically to see the projection change. The sphere's center is the north pole, and the projection line connects the north pole to the complex plane point. The projection point is shown on the sphere, intersecting with the equator to illustrate the concept of the point at infinity.
