Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

1. In a triangle ABC of area Δ, BC = a, CA = b, AB = c are the sides; 0 the centre and R the radius of the circumcircle; ρ1 and ρ2 the radii of the first and second Lemoine circles; σ the radius of the Brocard circle; O9 the centre of the nine-points circle; Ω, Ω′ the Brocard points and ω the Brocard angle; K the Lemoine point; G the centroid; H the orthocentre; ma, mb, mc the medians; ha, hb, hc the altitudes; AL = sa, BS = sb, CT = sc the symmedians corresponding to the sides a, b, c; 2∝ and 2β the axes of the Brocard ellipse of foci Ω, Ω′ and centre V; 2x and 2y the axes of the Lemoine ellipse of foci G, K and centre ϕτ and τ′ the Torricelli segments (the invariant segments which join a vertex of ABC to the vertices of the equilateral triangles constructed on the opposite side, internally and externally to the fundamental triangle); p(X) the power of a point X with respect to the circle O(R).
