This CD defines symbols for planar Euclidean geometry related to conics. amc: 18 March 2004 added are_on_conic


conic

Description:

The symbol represents a conic. The conic may be subject to constraints.

Example:
The conic G, incident to A,B,C,D and E is given by
conic ( G , incident ( G , A ) , incident ( G , B ) , incident ( G , C ) , incident ( G , D ) , incident ( G , E ) )

are_on_conic

Description:

The symbol is a boolean n-ary function. Its arguments should be points. When applied to a sequence of points, its evaluated to true if and only if there is a conic on which all arguments lie.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
If G is the conic determined by A,B,C,D, and E, whereas F is a point incident with G, then A,B,C,D, E, and F are on a conic.
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
F conic ( G , incident ( G , A ) , incident ( G , B ) , incident ( G , C ) , incident ( G , D ) , incident ( G , E ) ) are_on_conic ( A , B , C , D , E , F )
