South and north poles of simplices. #
This file defines the south and (generalized) north poles of a simplex, with respect to a vertex of that simplex: the second intersection with the circumsphere of a line through that vertex and the incenter or an excenter.

The generalized north pole of a simplex with respect to a given vertex and excenter is the second intersection with the circumsphere of the line through that vertex and excenter.
Equations
