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.

SUNDARA ROW S Geometric Exercises in Paper Folding Edited and Revised by WOOSTER WOODRUFF BEMAN PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAK and DAVID EUGENE SMITH PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS IN TEACHERS 1 COLLEGE OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY WITH 87 ILLUSTRATIONS THIRD EDITION CHICAGO ::: LONDON THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING COMPANY 1917 & XC? 4255 COPYRIGHT BY THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING Co, 1901 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA hn HATH EDITORS PREFACE. 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.

  • Delaunay Triangulations of Points on Circles Arxiv:1803.11436V1 [Cs.CG
    Delaunay Triangulations of Points on Circles∗ Vincent Despr´e † Olivier Devillers† Hugo Parlier‡ Jean-Marc Schlenker‡ April 2, 2018 Abstract Delaunay triangulations of a point set in the Euclidean plane are ubiq- uitous in a number of computational sciences, including computational geometry. Delaunay triangulations are not well defined as soon as 4 or more points are concyclic but since it is not a generic situation, this difficulty is usually handled by using a (symbolic or explicit) perturbation. As an alter- native, we propose to define a canonical triangulation for a set of concyclic points by using a max-min angle characterization of Delaunay triangulations. This point of view leads to a well defined and unique triangulation as long as there are no symmetric quadruples of points. This unique triangulation can be computed in quasi-linear time by a very simple algorithm. 1 Introduction Let P be a set of points in the Euclidean plane. If we assume that P is in general position and in particular do not contain 4 concyclic points, then the Delaunay triangulation DT (P ) is the unique triangulation over P such that the (open) circumdisk of each triangle is empty. DT (P ) has a number of interesting properties. The one that we focus on is called the max-min angle property. For a given triangulation τ, let A(τ) be the list of all the angles of τ sorted from smallest to largest. DT (P ) is the triangulation which maximizes A(τ) for the lexicographical order [4,7] . In dimension 2 and for points in general position, this max-min angle arXiv:1803.11436v1 [cs.CG] 30 Mar 2018 property characterizes Delaunay triangulations and highlights one of their most ∗This work was supported by the ANR/FNR project SoS, INTER/ANR/16/11554412/SoS, ANR-17-CE40-0033.

  • Angles in a Circle and Cyclic Quadrilateral MODULE - 3 Geometry
    Angles in a Circle and Cyclic Quadrilateral MODULE - 3 Geometry 16 Notes ANGLES IN A CIRCLE AND CYCLIC QUADRILATERAL You must have measured the angles between two straight lines. Let us now study the angles made by arcs and chords in a circle and a cyclic quadrilateral. OBJECTIVES After studying this lesson, you will be able to • verify that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle; • prove that angles in the same segment of a circle are equal; • cite examples of concyclic points; • define cyclic quadrilterals; • prove that sum of the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180o; • use properties of cyclic qudrilateral; • solve problems based on Theorems (proved) and solve other numerical problems based on verified properties; • use results of other theorems in solving problems. EXPECTED BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE • Angles of a triangle • Arc, chord and circumference of a circle • Quadrilateral and its types Mathematics Secondary Course 395 MODULE - 3 Angles in a Circle and Cyclic Quadrilateral Geometry 16.1 ANGLES IN A CIRCLE Central Angle. The angle made at the centre of a circle by the radii at the end points of an arc (or Notes a chord) is called the central angle or angle subtended by an arc (or chord) at the centre. In Fig. 16.1, ∠POQ is the central angle made by arc PRQ. Fig. 16.1 The length of an arc is closely associated with the central angle subtended by the arc. Let us define the “degree measure” of an arc in terms of the central angle.

  • Understand the Principles and Properties of Axiomatic (Synthetic
    Michael Bonomi Understand the principles and properties of axiomatic (synthetic) geometries (0016) Euclidean Geometry: To understand this part of the CST I decided to start off with the geometry we know the most and that is Euclidean: − Euclidean geometry is a geometry that is based on axioms and postulates − Axioms are accepted assumptions without proofs − In Euclidean geometry there are 5 axioms which the rest of geometry is based on − Everybody had no problems with them except for the 5 axiom the parallel postulate − This axiom was that there is only one unique line through a point that is parallel to another line − Most of the geometry can be proven without the parallel postulate − If you do not assume this postulate, then you can only prove that the angle measurements of right triangle are ≤ 180° Hyperbolic Geometry: − We will look at the Poincare model − This model consists of points on the interior of a circle with a radius of one − The lines consist of arcs and intersect our circle at 90° − Angles are defined by angles between the tangent lines drawn between the curves at the point of intersection − If two lines do not intersect within the circle, then they are parallel − Two points on a line in hyperbolic geometry is a line segment − The angle measure of a triangle in hyperbolic geometry < 180° Projective Geometry: − This is the geometry that deals with projecting images from one plane to another this can be like projecting a shadow − This picture shows the basics of Projective geometry − The geometry does not preserve length

  • Application of Nine Point Circle Theorem
    Application of Nine Point Circle Theorem Submitted by S3 PLMGS(S) Students Bianca Diva Katrina Arifin Kezia Aprilia Sanjaya Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ School (Secondary) A project presented to the Singapore Mathematical Project Festival 2019 Singapore Mathematic Project Festival 2019 Application of the Nine-Point Circle Abstract In mathematics geometry, a nine-point circle is a circle that can be constructed from any given triangle, which passes through nine significant concyclic points defined from the triangle. These nine points come from the midpoint of each side of the triangle, the foot of each altitude, and the midpoint of the line segment from each vertex of the triangle to the orthocentre, the point where the three altitudes intersect. In this project we carried out last year, we tried to construct nine-point circles from triangulated areas of an n-sided polygon (which we call the “Original Polygon) and create another polygon by connecting the centres of the nine-point circle (which we call the “Image Polygon”). From this, we were able to find the area ratio between the areas of the original polygon and the image polygon. Two equations were found after we collected area ratios from various n-sided regular and irregular polygons. Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ School (Secondary) 1 Singapore Mathematic Project Festival 2019 Application of the Nine-Point Circle Acknowledgement The students involved in this project would like to thank the school for the opportunity to participate in this competition. They would like to express their gratitude to the project supervisor, Ms Kok Lai Fong for her guidance in the course of preparing this project.
