Abstract
In this chapter we shall, among other things, prove the classical theorems of Desargues, Pappus and Pascal. These theorems are valid in the projective plane \(\mathbb{P}^2 (\mathbb{R})\), and we shall give simple algebraic proofs, which fully take advantage of the strength inherent in Analytic Planar Geometry.
