MAW NI = DRAGON PEARLS

The following is the translation of the ming paragraph headings in Dragon Pearls which represents a table of contents of the book by CFR. You can click on the numbers which will take you to the Ming Translator if you don't like my interpretation. Note in the book itself there are references to the Tai Shu which is a privately published set of documents where the material was originally developed & published to a limited circle of friends.
This book is the first in the projective geometry series of 18 & was published on January 17, 1955.
The subject of this book is all about the geometry of tangents . The other subjects covered in the process are: inversion, polar coordinates, Affine & Euclidean drawings, centroids, & vectors.

8 Fluxion - Differential coefficient = tangent
9 Inverted affine Hjelmslev example  
10 Ellipse curvature circle

Shu Khwan VI,11 and Shu Khwan VI,11 Continued and Shu Khwan VI,12 were all referenced in that first paragraph and may be helpful to your endeavor . Good Luck! These are mostly in English. These pages were written around March 15, 1951

Ah yes, I remember Shu Khwan from awhile back. I noticed the reference to it also. Thanks for posting those.
