Goals of Lecture 45B:

* In Part A of this lecture, we defined complex projective 2-space and showed how it can be turned into a two-dimensional complex manifold. In Part B, we show that any complex torus is holomorphically isomorphic to the natural Riemann surface structure on the associated elliptic algebraic cubic plane projective curve embedded in complex projective 2-space
