Description
Stereographic projection is a conformal map from the xy-plane to the unit sphere S^2 \in R3. ... Now consider the problem of representing the image p(gamma) of an algebraic curve under stereographic projection as a 3D-plot. ... This straightforward approach is easily realized with Mathematica.
