Synopsis

The Secret Of The Circle And Trisection Of Angles is a book written by Jeremy Carlisle Willmon in 1903. The book delves into the mathematical concept of trisecting angles, which is the process of dividing an angle into three equal parts. The author explores the history of trisection, from ancient Greek and Egyptian methods to modern approaches. The book also covers the concept of circle trisection, which involves dividing a circle into three equal parts. Willmon provides detailed explanations of various methods for trisecting angles and circles, including the use of compasses and straightedges. The book is aimed at advanced mathematicians and students of geometry, and it provides a comprehensive overview of this complex mathematical concept. Overall, The Secret Of The Circle And Trisection Of Angles is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theory of trisection in mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The most famous geometrical and mathematical problem of the ages is the squaring of the circle. The problems that have heretofore defied solution by fixed rule or method are :I St. The construction of a square that shall exactly equal in area any given circle. 2nd. The construction of a circle that shall exactly equal in area any given square. 3rd. The construction of a straight line that shall exactly equal the circumference of any given circle. 4th. The construction of a circle the circumference of which shall exactly equal any given straight line. The circumference of a circle has been proven by mathematical calculations, and the ratio of its circumference to its diameter has been computed to 400 decimal places.
