I am looking for information on line about taxicab geometry.  Have you 
ever come across any?  In addition, could you suggest some good 
references in a college library?  We are trying to prepare out students 
for the ICTM oral contest on taxicab geometry.

Thanks,

Hi Rick -

There's a discussion about taxicab geometry archived by the Geometry 
Forum at 

   http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=1074375   

 - you'll find people there to whom you could write for more 
information, or you could mail to the newsgroup.

Here are a couple of references:

Krause, Eugene F.  Taxicab Geometry - An Adventure in Non-Euclidean 
Geometry
Stillman, G.A. (1992). Taxicab geometry: the urban alternative. Teaching 
Mathematics, 17(2), 13-16.

Hope this helps -
