Nonlinear Tessellations

Background

Circle inversion plays an important part in Poincarie's model.
We start by demonstrating a geometric construction of the inverse of a point with respect to a circle.
Next we show that if circles U and V intersect orthogonally, the inverse in U of any point of V is another point of V.
Finally, we show how to construct an orthogonal circle from an exterior point
