YOK KYN - JADE MIRROR

The following is the translation of the ming paragraph headings in Jade Mirror which represents a table of contents of the book by CFR. You can click on the numbers which will take you to the Ming Translator if you don't like my interpretation. Note in the book itself there are references to the Tai Shu which is a privately published set of documents where the material was originally developed & published to a limited circle of friends.
This book is the fourth in the projective geometry series of 18 & was published on March 22, 1955.
This book seems to develop calculating with projective geometry.
