For the special case of an equalateral triangle all the points are in the same place. As for why the Symmedian point was not picked up by American navigational texts I notice it is not in Glenans either, a french text. Perhaps Kermit could weigh in on this point, did he learn it as a french navigator? It also may be that the other constructions are easier to draw with no significant difference in probability. gl --- On Sat, 12/18/10, Herbert Prinz <666@poorherbert.org> wrote:
