	Apollonius' Tangency Problem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Apollonius of Perga (born circa 261 BC) subsequently generalized this by showing how to find a circle tangent to three objects in the plane, where the objects can be any combination of points, lines, and/or circles.
		We can invert the entire plane relative to a circle of radius R centered at the origin by allowing each point to remain along the same direction from the origin, but changing the magnitude m of the vector to R^2/m, where R is the radius of the inversion circle.
		With these facts in mind, we can approach Apollonius' problem by first increasing the radius of each of the three given circles by a fixed amount such that two of the circles are just touching each other.

		Algebraically, this means that the Apollonius diagram does not change if we add to all weights the same quantity, which in particular, implies that we can assume without loss of generality that all weights are positive.
		However, the Apollonius graph is not a triangulation for two main reasons: we cannot always embed it on the plane with straight line segments that yield a triangulation and, moreover, we may have two faces of the graph that have two edges in common, which is not allowed in a triangulation.
		In the Apollonius graph such an edge corresponds to one of the additional edges that we use to triangulate the non-triangular faces.

	Apollonius of Tyana - The Philosopher Explorer and Social Reformer of the First Century A.D. by G.R.S.Mead
		APOLLONIUS was born [Legends of the wonderful happenings at his birth were in circulation, and are of the same nature as all such birth-legends of great people.] at Tyana, a city in the south of Cappadocia, somewhere in the early years of the Christian era.
		The salient fact that Apollonius was making for a certain community, which was his peculiar goal, so impressed the imagination of Philostratus (and perhaps of Damis before him) that he has described it as being the only centre of the kind in India.
		As Apollonius’ interviews with Vespasian took place shortly before the beginning of that emperor’s reign, it is reasonable to conclude that a number of years was spent by our philosopher in his Ethiopian journey, and that therefore Damis’ account is a most imperfect one.
