Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

Episode of Series “Geometry”.
Geometric inversion is introduced and discussed to effect the solution of an apparently difficult problem involving the inscription of a chain of circles between two given circles, one inside the other. The final result, known as Steiner’s Porism, is forcefully illustrated in motion - “pop art” fashion.
