For high-school and undergraduate students, but also anyone interested in the quirks of geometry geometry [Gr.,=earth measuring], branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of and relationships between points, lines, planes, and figures and with generalizations of these concepts. , Walser (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology may refer to one of two institutes of higher education in Switzerland:
  • ETH Zurich in Zurich
  • École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Lausanne
, Zurich) illustrates 99 examples of figures in which three or more straight lines or circles pass through the same point. He also offers a few general thoughts on the points of intersection, and an overview of some typical methods of proving the existence of such points that are more mathematically rigorous than a line drawing.
