So in class today the lecturer gave a regular map on the set V(s_{1}s_{2}-s_{0}^2) in projective 2-space to projective 1-space by \phi = (s_{0}:s_{1})=(s_{2}:s_{0}).
I'm confused. Is that another representation of the "function"? (Meaning they map to the same point classes?) or is it an alternate description on where the other is non defined?
I mean, it can't be the first option, since if the s_{0}=0 then the other two must be zero, but there is no such point in projective space.
But, I just want to make sure it really is the other option and not be something else I missed.
