Apologies - should have waited until I saw the entire video! You noted the correction. Thanx again!

In your Ceva's theorem, the last P3 should be an R3. FWIW. Great stuff, Norman!

Good stuff! The whole series is great. I love your book as well. I'd be interested if anyone has applied the formulas to do computational geometry, i.e., determining intersections of lines and objects, voronoi tessleations, etc..
