Re: Looking for projective geometry books
I'm going to mention and give some links to Projective Geometry books and pdf's. (Since, the idea of pole-polars are used the most in olympiad problems, I'll give some links seperately about that as well.) I hope others will continue the thread. $[1]$ Projective Geometry , by, H.S.M. Coxeter $[2]$ A...

Side, Angle, and, (Ex)-Circle
In $\triangle ABC$, $\angle A=2\angle C$. $(O)$ is its $A-$excircle, and, $M$ is the mid-point of $AC$. $OM\cap BC=D$. Show that,
$[1]$ $AD$ bisects $\angle OAC$
$[2]$ $BA=BD$
$[1]$ $AD$ bisects $\angle OAC$
$[2]$ $BA=BD$

Re: powers are equal
$A,B,C$ all lie on the circles they are meant to be respected to. Not true. First, prove that, $AB',$ etc. are tangent to $\odot B'PC,$ etc. Then, the powers of $A, B, $ and $C$ w.r.t. the given circles are equal to the squares of $AB', BC', CA'$. So, we'll be done if we can show $AB'=BC'=CA'$. Now...

Re: Floor sum
Let, $S=\sum^{n}_{k=1}\lfloor\sqrt k\rfloor$. For all $1\leq k\leq (a^2-1)$, $\lfloor\sqrt k\rfloor=i$, where, $1\leq i\leq (a-1)$, $i\in \mathbb{N}$, and, $i$ appears exactly $(i+1)^2-i^2=(2i+1)$ times in $S$. \[\therefore \sum^{a^2-1}_{k=1}\lfloor\sqrt k\rfloor=\sum_{i=1}^{a-1}i(2i+1)=2\sum i^2+\s...

(Angle)^(Side)[Inequality]
Let, $ABC$ be a triangle with angles $A,B,C$, and, sides $a,b,c$ (usual notations). Let, $R$ be the circum-radius. Prove that, \[\left(\frac{2A}{\pi}\right)^\frac{1}{a}\left(\frac{2B}{\pi}\right)^\frac{1}{b}\left(\frac{2C}{\pi}\right)^\frac{1}{c}\leq \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{R}}\]
