A Genetic Context for Understanding the Trigonometric Functions Daniel E. Otero∗ July 22, 2019 Trigonometry is concerned with the measurements of angles about a central point (or of arcs of circles centered at that point) and quantities, geometrical and otherwise, that depend on the sizes of such angles (or the lengths of the corresponding arcs). It is one of those subjects that has become a standard part of the toolbox of every scientist and applied mathematician. It is the goal of this project to impart to students some of the story of where and how its central ideas first emerged, in an attempt to provide context for a modern study of this mathematical theory.

    Letter from Descartes to Desargues 1 (19 June 1639)

    Appendix 1 Letter from Descartes to Desargues 1 (19 June 1639) Sir, The openness I have observed in your temperament, and my obligations to you, invite me to write to you freely what I can conjecture of the Treatise on Conic Sections, of which the R[everend] F[ather] M[ersenne] sent me the Draft. 2 You may have two designs, which are very good and very praiseworthy, but which do not both require the same course of action. One is to write for the learned, and to instruct them about some new properties of conics with which they are not yet familiar; the other is to write for people who are interested but not learned, and make this subject, which until now has been understood by very few people, but which is nevertheless very useful for Perspective, Architecture etc., accessible to the common people and easily understood by anyone who studies it from your book. If you have the first of these designs, it does not seem to me that you have any need to use new terms: for the learned, being already accustomed to the terms used by Apollonius, will not easily exchange them for others, even better ones, and thus your terms will only have the effect of making your proofs more difficult for them and discourage them from reading them. If you have the second design, your terms, being French, and showing wit and elegance in their invention, will certainly be better received than those of the Ancients by people who have no preconceived ideas; and they might even serve to attract some people to read your work, as they read works on Heraldry, Hunting, Architecture etc., without any wish to become hunters or architects but only to learn to talk about them correctly.

OUR attention was first attracted to Sundara Row s Geomet rical Exercises in Paper Folding by a reference in Klein s Vor- lesungen iiber ausgezucihlte Fragen der Elementargeometrie. An examination of the book, obtained after many vexatious delays, convinced us of its undoubted merits and of its probable value to American teachers and students of geometry. Accordingly we sought permission of the author to bring out an edition in this country, wnich permission was most generously granted. The purpose of the book is so fully set forth in the author s introduction that we need only to say that it is sure to prove of interest to every wide-awake teacher of geometry from the graded school to the college. The methods are so novel and the results so easily reached that they cannot fail to awaken enthusiasm. Our work as editors in this revision has been confined to some slight modifications of the proofs, some additions in the way of references, and the insertion of a considerable number of half-tone reproductions of actual photographs instead of the line-drawings of the original.

    A One-Page Primer the Centers and Circles of a Triangle

    1 The Triangle: A One-Page Primer (Date: March 15, 2004 ) An angle is formed by two intersecting lines. A right angle has 90◦. An angle that is less (greater) than a right angle is called acute (obtuse). Two angles whose sum is 90◦ (180◦) are called complementary (supplementary). Two intersecting perpendicular lines form right angles. The angle bisectors are given by the locus of points equidistant from its two lines. The internal and external angle bisectors are perpendicular to each other. The vertically opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines are equal. In triangle ABC, the angles are denoted A, B, C; the sides are denoted a = BC, b = AC, c = AB; the semi- 1 ◦ perimeter (s) is 2 the perimeter (a + b + c). A + B + C = 180 . Similar figures are equiangular and their corresponding components are proportional. Two triangles are similar if they share two equal angles. Euclid's VI.19, 2 ∆ABC a the areas of similar triangles are proportional to the second power of their corresponding sides ( ∆A0B0C0 = a02 ). An acute triangle has three acute angles. An obtuse triangle has one obtuse angle. A scalene triangle has all its sides unequal. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. I.5 (pons asinorum): The angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal. An equilateral triangle has all its sides congruent. A right triangle has one right angle (at C). The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the 90◦ angle and the catheti are its other legs. In a opp adj opp adj hyp hyp right triangle, sin = , cos = , tan = , cot = , sec = , csc = .

In this paper the author unveils several alternative proofs for the standard lengths of Angle Bisectors and Angle Bisector Theorem in any triangle, along with some new useful derivatives of them. 2010 Mathematical Subject Classification: 97G40 Keywords and phrases: Angle Bisector theorem, Parallel lines, Pythagoras Theorem, Similar triangles. 1. INTRODUCTION In this paper the author introduces alternative proofs for the standard length of An- gle Bisectors and the Angle Bisector Theorem in classical Euclidean Plane Geometry, on a concise elementary format while promoting the significance of them by acquainting some prominent generalized side length ratios within any two distinct triangles existed with some certain correlations of their corresponding angles, as new lemmas. Within this paper 8 new alternative proofs are exposed by the author on the angle bisection, 3 new proofs each for the lengths of the Angle Bisectors by various perspectives with also 5 new proofs for the Angle Bisector Theorem. 1.1. The Standard Length of the Angle Bisector Date: 1 February 2012 . 15 G.W Indika Shameera Amarasinghe The length of the angle bisector of a standard triangle such as AD in figure 1.1 is AD2 = AB · AC − BD · DC, or AD2 = bc 1 − (a2/(b + c)2) according to the standard notation of a triangle as it was initially proved by an extension of the angle bisector up to the circumcircle of the triangle.

    Thales of Miletus Sources and Interpretations Miletli Thales Kaynaklar ve Yorumlar David Pierce October , Matematics Department Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University Istanbul http://mat.msgsu.edu.tr/~dpierce/ Preface Here are notes of what I have been able to find or figure out about Thales of Miletus. They may be useful for anybody interested in Thales. They are not an essay, though they may lead to one. I focus mainly on the ancient sources that we have, and on the mathematics of Thales. I began this work in preparation to give one of several - minute talks at the Thales Meeting (Thales Buluşması) at the ruins of Miletus, now Milet, September , . The talks were in Turkish; the audience were from the general popu- lation. I chose for my title “Thales as the originator of the concept of proof” (Kanıt kavramının öncüsü olarak Thales). An English draft is in an appendix. The Thales Meeting was arranged by the Tourism Research Society (Turizm Araştırmaları Derneği, TURAD) and the office of the mayor of Didim. Part of Aydın province, the district of Didim encompasses the ancient cities of Priene and Miletus, along with the temple of Didyma. The temple was linked to Miletus, and Herodotus refers to it under the name of the family of priests, the Branchidae. I first visited Priene, Didyma, and Miletus in , when teaching at the Nesin Mathematics Village in Şirince, Selçuk, İzmir. The district of Selçuk contains also the ruins of Eph- esus, home town of Heraclitus. In , I drafted my Miletus talk in the Math Village. Since then, I have edited and added to these notes.
