Let \(\pi\) be an n-dimensional projective space in which Pappos' theorem holds. Then \(\pi\) can also be described through a vector space over a field K. A hyperquadric is then given by a bilinear or quadratic form. The author avoids linear algebra and defines a hyperquadric directly through its generation via a correlation. The treatment is independent of the characteristic of the space. The author proves a great number of geometric properties of hyperquadrics and their generation.
