Geometric constructions in real or complex geometry (51M15) Polyhedra and polytopes; regular figures, division of spaces (51M20) Descriptive geometry (51N05)

Abstract: It is not commonly realized that the algebra of complex numbers can be used in an elegant way to represent the images of ordinary 3-dimensional figures, orthographically projected to the plane. We describe these ideas here, both using simple geometry and setting them in a broader context.
