Description: Define the multiplication of extended complex numbers and of the complex projective line (Riemann sphere). In our convention, a product with 0 is 0, even when the other factor is infinite. An alternate convention leaves products of 0 with an infinite number undefined since the multiplication is not continuous at these points. Note that our convention entails ( 0 / 0 ) = 0 (given df-bj-invc ).
Note that this definition uses x. and Arg and / . Indeed, it would be contrived to bypass ordinary complex multiplication, and the present two-step definition looks like a good compromise. (Contributed by BJ, 22-Jun-2019)
