Extract

In a previous note the present author has given an account of the conjugations known as isogonal conjugation and isotomic conjugation with respect to a given triangle and has shown how to generalise the idea of conjugation involving a pair of points so that P(l, m, n) is q-conjugate, by means of a construction involving a transversal q, to the point (p2/l, q2/m, r2/n) and he has also demonstrated how to perform the geometrical constructions involved. When there is a self-conjugate point at the incentre I one has isogonal conjugation, and when there is a self-conjugate point at the centroid G one has isotomic conjugation.
