Beyond the centroid, the orthocenter and the centers of the two circles familiar from school geometry, thousands of points can be associated with the three vertices of a triangle. These myriad points lie on hundreds of cubics with remarkable properties.

Points and lines in the plane are dual notions: theorems about collinear points correspond to theorems about concurrent lines. This duality can be defined geometrically. It even extends to space, through coplanarity.

When the side lengths of a triangle form a Pythagorean triple, the triangle is called a Pythagorean triangle. Discover its properties...

Confusing "tangent" and "asymptote" is a very common mistake: what student has never made it? Yet the distinction between the two notions is perfectly clear. An exploration of certain constructions in projective geometry will nonetheless force us to call our certainties into question.
