+For the point $(x_0 y_0 : \cdots : x_p y_q)$ to make sense, we need to
+check that not all its coordinates are zero.  But we know that at
+least one of the $x_i$ is nonzero and at least one of the $y_j$ is
+nonzero, so (as we are working over a field) the product $x_i y_j$ is
+nonzero.

+For the map $((x_0:\cdots:x_p),\, (y_0:\cdots:y_q)) \mapsto (x_0 y_0 :
+\cdots : x_p y_q)$ to make sense, we need to check that $(x_0 y_0 :
+\cdots : x_p y_q)$ does not change if we replace the $x_i$ and the
+$y_j$ by different coordinates for the same point, in other words, if
+we multiply all the $x_i$ by a common nonzero constant, and all the
+$y_j$ by a (possibly different) common nonzero constant.  This is
+indeed the case as $x_i y_j$ will be multiplied by the product of
+these two constants.

+Concerning $S$, we need to check that the equations $z_{i,j} z_{i',j'}
+= z_{i,j'} z_{i',j}$ are homogeneous: this is indeed the case (they
+are homogeneous of degree $2$).

+When $p=q=1$ the equations of $S$ are all trivial except $z_{0,0}
+z_{1,1} = z_{0,1} z_{1,0}$ (or equations trivially equivalent to
+this).  Taking $z_{0,0} = 0$ as plane at infinity, we get the equation

+(\textit{Hint:} you may wish to observe that if $(z_{0,0} : \cdots :
+z_{p,q})$ is in $S$, the point $(z_{0,j_0} : \cdots : z_{p,j_0})$ in
+$\mathbb{P}^p$ does not depend on $j_0 \in \{0,\ldots,q\}$ such that

+
+\begin{answer}
+Assume $(z_{0,0} : \cdots : z_{p,q})$ is in $S$.  By the definition of
+$\mathbb{P}^n$, at least one coordinate $z_{i_0,j_0}$ is nonzero.
+Define $x^*_i = z_{i,j_0}$ (note that $x^*_{i_0} \neq 0$) and $y^*_j =
+z_{i_0,j}$ (note that $y^*_{j_0} \neq 0$): then $x^*_i y^*_j =
+z_{i,j_0} z_{i_0,j}$, which, by the equations of $S$, is also
+$z_{i_0,j_0} z_{i,j}$: this shows that $((x^*_0 : \cdots : x^*_p),
+(y^*_0 : \cdots : y^*_q))$ maps to the given $(z_{0,0} : \cdots :
+z_{p,q})$ under $\psi$ (by dividing all coordinates by the nonzero
+value $z_{i_0,j_0}$).  So $\psi$ surjects to $S$.
+
+But in fact, if $((x_0 : \cdots : x_p), (y_0 : \cdots : y_q))$ maps to
+$(z_{0,0} : \cdots : z_{p,q})$ under $\psi$, then we have $z_{i,j_0} =
+y_{j_0} x_i$ so that $(x_0 : \cdots : x_p) = (z_{0,j_0} : \cdots :
+z_{p,j_0})$ provided $y_{j_0} \neq 0$, which is tantamount to saying
+$z_{i_0,j_0}\neq 0$ for some $i_0$: so we had no other choice than to
+take the $(x^*_0 : \cdots : x^*_p)$ of the previous paragraph, and the
+same argument holds for $(y^*_0 : \cdots : y^*_q)$.  This shows
+uniqueness of the points $((x_0 : \cdots : x_p), (y_0 : \cdots :

+\begin{answer}
+Given $j_0 \in \{0,\ldots,q\}$, consider the map $(z_{0,0} : \cdots :
+z_{p,q}) \mapsto (z_{0,j_0} : \cdots : z_{p,j_0})$ which selects only
+the coordinates $z_{i,j_0}$.  This is a partially defined map from
+$\mathbb{P}^n$ to $\mathbb{P}^p$, and the components are homogeneous
+polynomials of the same degree (here, $1$): the only thing that can go
+wrong is that all the $z_{i,j_0}$ are zero, so this is well-defined on
+the open set $\{z_{0,j_0}\neq 0\} \cup \cdots \cup \{z_{p,j_0}\neq
+0\}$.  Now restrict this map to $S$: this gives us a morphism
+$\pi^{\prime(j_0)}$ from the open set $U^{(j_0)} := S \cap
+(\{z_{0,j_0}\neq 0\} \cup \cdots \cup \{z_{p,j_0}\neq 0\})$ of $S$
+to $\mathbb{P}^p$.
+
+Note that the union the union of $U^{0)},\ldots,U^{(q)}$ is all of $S$
+because there is always at least one coordinate nonzero.
+
+Furthermore, we have seen in (4) that if $s = (z_{0,0} : \cdots :
+z_{p,q})$ then $\pi'(s)$ is given by $\pi^{\prime(j_0)}(s) =
+(z_{0,j_0} : \cdots : z_{p,j_0})$ where $j_0$ is any element of
+$\{0,\ldots,q\}$ such that $z_{i_0,j_0} \neq 0$ for some $i_0$, i.e.,
+$s \in U^{(j_0)}$.  This shows that $\pi'$ coincides with
+$\pi^{\prime(j_0)}$ on the open set $U^{(j_0)}$ where the latter is
+defined, so $\pi'$ is defined by “gluing” the various
+$\pi^{\prime(j_0)}$.  So $\pi'$ is indeed a morphism (to be clear: it
+is simply defined by selecting the coordinates of the form $z_{i,j_0}$
+for any one $j_0$ such that not all of them vanish).
+
+The same argument, \textit{mutatis mutandis}, works for $\pi''$.
