Abstract

A method for determining loci without using a deep algebraic background is presented. It uses pseudodivision techniques (Wu's algorithm). The key idea is to make the hypothesis conditions depend on an indeterminate point, X. When forcing the thesis condition to be a consequence of hypothesis conditions, a new condition involving X appears. That condition leads to the locus. The method is applied to prove a new theorem: the generalization of Simson-Steiner Theorem to 3D.
