  1. The complex numbers extended with the number ∞; the complex plane (representation of the complex numbers as a Euclidean plane) extended with a single idealised point at infinity and consequently homeomorphic to a sphere in 3-dimensional Euclidean space.
    — We use #92;hat#123;#92;Complex#125;#92;times (resp. #92;Complex) to denote the subset #92;#123;z#92;in#92;hat#92;Complex#58;z#92;ne 0#92;#125; (resp. #92;#123;z#92;in#92;hat#92;Complex#58;z#92;ne#92;infty#92;#125;) in the Riemann sphere #92;hat#92;Complex.
  2. The 2-sphere embedded in Euclidean three-dimensional space and often represented as a unit sphere, regarded as a homeomorphic representation of the extended complex plane and thus the extended complex numbers.
    — 1967 [Prentice-Hall], Richard A. Silverman, Introductory Complex Analysis, Dover, 1972, page 22, Every circle γ on the Riemann sphere Σ which does not go through a given point P^*∈Σ divides Σ into two parts, such that one part contains P^* and the other does not.
