Gaussian Guesswork: Polar Coordinates, Arc Length and the Lemniscate Curve Janet Heine Barnett∗ October 26, 2020 Just prior to his 19th birthday, the mathematical genius Carl Freidrich Gauss (1777{1855) began a \mathematical diary" in which he recorded his mathematical discoveries for nearly 20 years. Among these discoveries is the existence of a beautiful relationship between three particular numbers: • the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, or π; Z 1 dx • a specific value of a certain (elliptic1) integral, which Gauss denoted2 by $ = 2 p ; and 4 0 1 − x p p • a number called \the arithmetic-geometric mean" of 1 and 2, which he denoted as M( 2; 1). Like many of his discoveries, Gauss uncovered this particular relationship through a combination of the use of analogy and the examination of computational data, a practice that historian Adrian Rice called \Gaussian Guesswork" in his Math Horizons article subtitled \Why 1:19814023473559220744 ::: is such a beautiful number" [Rice, November 2009].

  • NOTES Reconsidering Leibniz's Analytic Solution of the Catenary
    NOTES Reconsidering Leibniz's Analytic Solution of the Catenary Problem: The Letter to Rudolph von Bodenhausen of August 1691 Mike Raugh January 23, 2017 Leibniz published his solution of the catenary problem as a classical ruler-and-compass con- struction in the June 1691 issue of Acta Eruditorum, without comment about the analysis used to derive it.1 However, in a private letter to Rudolph Christian von Bodenhausen later in the same year he explained his analysis.2 Here I take up Leibniz's argument at a crucial point in the letter to show that a simple observation leads easily and much more quickly to the solution than the path followed by Leibniz. The argument up to the crucial point affords a showcase in the techniques of Leibniz's calculus, so I take advantage of the opportunity to discuss it in the Appendix. Leibniz begins by deriving a differential equation for the catenary, which in our modern orientation of an x − y coordinate system would be written as, dy n Z p = (n = dx2 + dy2); (1) dx a where (x; z) represents cartesian coordinates for a point on the catenary, n is the arc length from that point to the lowest point, the fraction on the left is a ratio of differentials, and a is a constant representing unity used throughout the derivation to maintain homogeneity.3 The equation characterizes the catenary, but to solve it n must be eliminated. 1Leibniz, Gottfried Wilhelm, \De linea in quam flexile se pondere curvat" in Die Mathematischen Zeitschriftenartikel, Chap 15, pp 115{124, (German translation and comments by Hess und Babin), Georg Olms Verlag, 2011.

  • Revolution About the X-Axis Find the Volume of the Solid of Revolution Generated by Rotating the Regions Bounded by the Curves Given Around the X-Axis
    Revolution About the x-axis Find the volume of the solid of revolution generated by rotating the regions bounded by the curves given around the x-axis. a) y = 3x − x2; y = 0 p b) y = ax; y = 0; x = a Solutions a) y = 3x − x2; y = 0 We start by sketching the region, which is a parabolic \hump" between x = 0 and x = 3 with vertex (1:5; 2:25). We could compute the volume of the solid by using shells or disks. Because we're given the equation y = 3x − x2 for y in terms of x, it seems easiest to use disks. The radius of each disk will equal the height of the curve, 3x − x2 so a disk's volume will be π(3x − x2)2 dx. The limits of integration are the x-intercepts (crossing points) x = 0 and x = 3. The volume of the solid of revolution is: Z 3 Z 3 2 2 2 3 4 π(3x − x ) dx = π 9x − 6x + x dx 0 0 � 3 1 �3 = π 3x 3 − x 4 + x 5 2 5 0 �� 3 1 � � = π 3 · 33 − · 34 + · 35 − 0 2 5 � 3 3 � = 34π 1 − + 2 5 34π = ≈ 8π: 10 This seems like a reasonable answer; 8π is the volume of a cylinder with radius 2 and height 2. p b) y = ax; y = 0; x = a We must either sketch this region by hand or choose a value for a when using an electronic graphing tool. Either way, we find that the region has the shape of half of a parabolic \hump", opening to the right, with vertex at (0; 0).

Fig1 These are called an ellipse when n= 2, are called a diamond when n = 1, and are called an asteroid when n = 2/3. These are known well. parametric representation of an ellipse In order to ask for the area and the arc length of a super-ellipse, it is necessary to calculus the equations. However, it is difficult for (1.1) and (1.1'). Then, in order to make these easy, parametric representation of (1.1) is often used. As far as the 1st quadrant, (1.1) is as follows . xn yn 0xa + = 1 a n b n 0yb Let us compare this with the following trigonometric equation. sin 2 + cos 2 = 1 Then, we obtain xn yn = sin 2 , = cos 2 a n b n i.e. - 1 - 2 2 x = a sin n ,y = bcos n The variable and the domain are changed as follows. x: 0a : 0/2 By this representation, the area and the arc length of a superellipse can be calculated clockwise from the y-axis. cf. If we represent this as usual as follows, 2 2 x = a cos n ,y = bsin n the area and the arc length of a superellipse can be calculated counterclockwise from the x-axis.

  • Surface Area of a Sphere in This Example We Will Complete the Calculation of the Area of a Surface of Rotation
    Surface Area of a Sphere In this example we will complete the calculation of the area of a surface of rotation. If we’re going to go to the effort to complete the integral, the answer should be a nice one; one we can remember. It turns out that calculating the surface area of a sphere gives us just such an answer. We’ll think of our sphere as a surface of revolution formed by revolving a half circle of radius a about the x-axis. We’ll be integrating with respect to x, and we’ll let the bounds on our integral be x1 and x2 with −a ≤ x1 ≤ x2 ≤ a as sketched in Figure 1. x1 x2 Figure 1: Part of the surface of a sphere. Remember that in an earlier example we computed the length of an infinites­ imal segment of a circular arc of radius 1: r 1 ds = dx 1 − x2 In this example we let the radius equal a so that we can see how the surface area depends on the radius. Hence: p y = a2 − x2 −x y0 = p a2 − x2 r x2 ds = 1 + dx a2 − x2 r a2 − x2 + x2 = dx a2 − x2 r a2 = dx: 2 2 a − x The formula for the surface area indicated in Figure 1 is: Z x2 Area = 2πy ds x1 1 ds y z }| { x r Z 2 z }| { a2 p 2 2 = 2π a − x dx 2 2 x1 a − x Z x2 a p 2 2 = 2π a − x p dx 2 2 x1 a − x Z x2 = 2πa dx x1 = 2πa(x2 − x1): Special Cases When possible, we should test our results by plugging in values to see if our answer is reasonable.

  • Villarceau-Section’ to Surfaces of Revolution with a Generating Conic
    Journal for Geometry and Graphics Volume 6 (2002), No. 2, 121{132. Extension of the `Villarceau-Section' to Surfaces of Revolution with a Generating Conic Anton Hirsch Fachbereich Bauingenieurwesen, FG Stahlbau, Darstellungstechnik I/II UniversitÄat Gesamthochschule Kassel Kurt-Wolters-Str. 3, D-34109 Kassel, Germany email: [email protected] Abstract. When a surface of revolution with a conic as meridian is intersected with a double tangential plane, then the curve of intersection splits into two con- gruent conics. This decomposition is valid whether the surface of revolution inter- sects the axis of rotation or not. It holds even for imaginary surfaces of revolution. We present these curves of intersection in di®erent cases and we also visualize imaginary curves. The arguments are based on geometrical reasoning. But we also give in special cases an analytical treatment. Keywords: Villarceau-section, ring torus, surface of revolution with a generating conic, double tangential plane MSC 2000: 51N05 1. Introduction Due to Y. Villarceau the following statement it is valid (compare e.g. [1], p. 412, [3], p. 204, or [4]): The curve of intersection between a ring torus ª and any double tangential plane ¿ splits into two congruent circles. We assume that r is the radius of the meridian circles k of ª and that their centers are in the distance d, d > r, from the axis a of rotation. We generalize and replace k by a conic which may also intersect the axis a. Under these conditions it is still true that the intersection with a double tangential plane ¿ is reducible.
