On the Web The MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive at http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/index.html A good starting point for this chapter is http://turnbull.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/history/Indexes/Chinese.html In Japanese Li Di, History of Chinese Mathematics, Japanese translation by Otake Shigeo and Lu Renrui (Morikita Syuppan, Tokyo, 2002).
Chapter 6. Still Harder Temple Geometry Problems Additional temple geometry problems, most fairly difficult, can be found in Fukagawa Hidetoshi and Dan Pedoe, Japanese Temple Geometry Problems, available from Charles Babbage Research Centre, P.O. Box 272, St. Norbert Postal Station, Winnepeg Canada, R3V 1L6. Fukagawa Hidetoshi and John Rigby, Traditional Japanese Mathematics Problems of the 18th and 19th Centuries (SCT, Singapore, 2002).
Chapter 10. Introduction to Inversion The advanced texts listed in the section “What Do I Need to Know to Read This Book?� all discuss inversion in less or more detail. They are: Stanley Ogilvy, Excursions in Geometry (Dover, New York, 1990). At a higher level but more complete are H. Coxeter and S. Greitzer, Geometry Revisited (New Mathematical Library, New York, 1967). Dan Pedoe Geometry, A Comprehensive Course (Dover, New York, 1988). Probably the clearest, and containing literally hundreds of results on inversion is Clement Durell, A Course of Plane Geometry for Advanced Students (Macmillan, London, 1909), Part 1. Many websites devoted to inversion can be found on the Internet. The degree of comprehensibility varies widely. A few sites that may be helpful with definitions and constructions are: http://whistleralley.com/inversion/inversion.htm http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/compass/compass3.html
