Next: Which are the Up: Famous Problems in Mathematics Previous: The Four Colour Theorem The Trisection of an Angle This problem, together with Doubling the Cube Constructing the regular Heptagon and Squaring the Circle were posed by the Greeks in antiquity, and remained open until modern times. The solution to all of them is rather inelegant from a geometric perspective. No geometric proof has been offered [check?], however, a very clever solution was found using fairly basic results from extension fields and modern algebra. It turns out that trisecting the angle is equivalent to solving a cubic equation. Constructions with ruler and compass may only compute the solution of a limited set of such equations, even when restricted to integer coefficients. In particular, the equation for degrees cannot be solved by ruler and compass and thus the trisection of the angle is not possible. It is possible to trisect an angle using a compass and a ruler marked in 2 places. Suppose X is a point on the unit circle such that is the angle we would like to ``trisect''. Draw a line

Doubling the cube Three geometric construction problems from antiquity puzzled mathematicians for centuries: the trisection of an angle, squaring the circle, and duplicating the cube. Are these constructions impossible? Whether these problems are possible or impossible depends on the construction "rules" you follow. In the time of Euclid, the rules for constructing these and other geometric figures allowed the use of only an unmarked straightedge and a collapsible compass. No markings for measuring were permitted on the straightedge (ruler), and the compass could not hold a setting, so it had to be thought of as collapsing when it was not in the process of actually drawing a part of a circle. Following these rules, the first and third problems were proved impossible by Wantzel in 1837, although their impossibility was already known to Gauss around 1800. The second problem was proved to be impossible by Lindemann in 1882.

Origami Trisection of an angle How can you trisect an angle? It can be shown it's impossible to do this with ruler and compass alone, (using Galois theory) - so don't try it!!! But you may be able to find some good approximations. However, in origami, you can get accurate trisection of an acute angle. You can read about this in several places, but since it's so neat, I thought I'd put instructions up here too - more people should be able to do this for a party trick! Jim Loy has informed me that this construction is due to to Hisashi Abe in 1980, (see "Geometric Constructions" by George E. Martin). See Jim Loy's page at http://www.jimloy.com/geometry/trisect.htm for a description of many other ways to trisec an angle. Since we're working with origami, the angle is in a piece of paper: So what we want is to find how to fold along these dotted lines: Note, if you don't start with a square, you can always make a square, here's the idea. We're going to trisect this angle by folding. I'm going to try and describe this in a way so that you'll remember what to do. Suppose we could put three congruent triangles in the picture as shown: These triangles trisect the angle. So we need to know how to get them there.

52. The Problem Of Angle Trisection In Antiquity As it turns out, the trisection of an angle is not a `plane' problem, but a `solid' one Heath. This is why these early mathematicians failed to find a general construction for http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~cherlin/History/Papers2000/jackter.html

The Problem of Angle Trisection in Antiquity A. Jackter History of Mathematics Rutgers, Spring 2000 The problem of trisecting an angle was posed by the Greeks in antiquity. For centuries mathematicians sought a Euclidean construction, using "ruler and compass" methods, as well as taking a number of other approaches: exact solutions by means of auxiliary curves, and approximate solutions by Euclidean methods. The most influential mathematicians to take up the problem were the Greeks Hippias, Archimedes, and Nicomedes. The early work on this problem exhibits every imaginable grade of skill, ranging from the most futile attempts, to excellent approximate solutions, as well as ingenious solutions by the use of "higher" curves [Hobson]. Mathematicians eventually came to the empirical conclusion that this problem could not be solved via purely Euclidean constructions, but this raised a deeper problem: the need for a proof of its impossibility under the stated restriction. The trisection of an angle, or, more generally, dividing an angle into any number of equal parts, is a natural extension of the problem of the bisection of an angle, which was solved in ancient times. Euclid's solution to the problem of angle bisection, as given in his Elements , is as follows: To bisect a given rectilineal angle: Let the angle BAC be the given rectilineal angle. Thus it is required to bisect it. Let a point D be taken at random on AB; let AE be cut off from AC equal to AD; let DE be joined, and on DE let the equilateral triangle DEF be constructed; let AF be joined. I say that the straight line AF has bisected the angle BAC. For, since AD is equal to AE, and AF is common, the two sides DA, AF are equal to the two sides EA, AF respectively. And the base DF is equal to the base EF; therefore the angle DAF is equal to the angle EAF. Therefore the given rectilineal angle BAC has been bisected by the straight line AF

Mathematica Notebook for This Page History Want to learn differential equations? Our conceptual approach is your best bet. Visit Differential Equations, Mechanics, and Computation According to common modern accounts, the conchoid of Nicomedes was first conceived around 200 B.C by Nicomedes, to solve the angle trisection problem. The name conchoid is derived from Greek meaning “shell”, as in the word conch. The curve is also known as cochloid. From E. H. Lockwood (1961): The invention of the conchoid (‘mussel-shell shaped’) is ascribed to Nicomedes (second century B.C.) by Pappus and other classical authors; it was a favourite with the mathematicians of the seventeenth century as a specimen for the new method of analytical geometry and calculus. It could be used (as was the purpose of its invention) to solve the two problems of doubling the cube and of trisecting a angle; and hence for veery cubic or quartic prblem. For this reason, Newton suggested that it would be treated as a 'standard' curve. Did Nicomedes use the curve to double the cube? Who used the name cochloid and in where?

Bisection From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For the bisection theorem, see ham sandwich theorem . For other uses, see bisect In geometry bisection is the division of something into two equal or congruent parts, usually by a line , which is then called a bisector . The most often considered types of bisectors are the segment bisector (a line that passes through the midpoint of a given segment) and the angle bisector (a line that passes through the apex of an angle, that divides it into two equal angles). In three dimensional space , bisection is usually done by a plane, also called the bisector or bisecting plane Bisection of a line segment using a compass and ruler Bisection of an angle using a compass and ruler Contents Line segment bisector Angle bisector See also References ... edit Line segment bisector Line DE bisects line AB at D, line EF is a perpendicular bisector of segment AD at C and the interior bisector of right angle AED A line segment bisector passes through the midpoint of the segment.
