Re: Taxicab Geometry
I still don't get it. Is your new formula, {P | dT(P, A) = dT(P, B)} supposed to be equivalent to your original one, {P | dT(P, A) + dT(P, B) = dT(A, B)}?

I would still like to know how you would read the(se?) equation(s?) out loud in English.

[EDIT]BTW, i think my only problem is with your notation. Not with the concepts of Taxicab Geometry.[/EDIT]
