For example, the Metroplex Math Circle, [8] Arnold & Marsden Mathematical Olympiad Circle (AMMOC) [9] have a combination of problem-solving and research, and the New York Math Circle [10] is some combination of a problem-solving circle and a topic-centered club, with vestiges of a research circle. One can expect problem-solving groups to ...
The most famous of these problems, squaring the circle, otherwise known as the quadrature of the circle, involves constructing a square with the same area as a given circle using only straightedge and compass. Squaring the circle has been proved impossible, as it involves generating a transcendental number, that is, √ π.
The number of points (n), chords (c) and regions (r G) for first 6 terms of Moser's circle problem. In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser's circle problem (named after Leo Moser), has a solution by an inductive method.
Circle packing in a circle is a two-dimensional packing problem with the objective of packing unit circles into the smallest possible larger circle. Table of solutions, 1 ≤ n ≤ 20 [ edit ]
Although successful in solving Apollonius' problem, van Roomen's method has a drawback. A prized property in classical Euclidean geometry is the ability to solve problems using only a compass and a straightedge. [18] Many constructions are impossible using only these tools, such as dividing an angle in three equal parts.
The "nine dots" puzzle. The puzzle asks to link all nine dots using four straight lines or fewer, without lifting the pen. The nine dots puzzle is a mathematical puzzle whose task is to connect nine squarely arranged points with a pen by four (or fewer) straight lines without lifting the pen or retracing any lines.
Mrs. Miniver's problem – Problem on areas of intersecting circles; Pivot theorem – Concerns 3 circles through triples of points on the vertices and sides of a triangle; Pizza theorem – Equality of areas of a sliced disk; Squaring the circle – Problem of constructing equal-area shapes
Damath was invented by Jesus Huenda, a teacher in the province of Sorsogon, Philippines, who had encountered problems in teaching math using traditional teaching methods. Inspired in part by an investigatory project called “Dama de Numero” submitted by a student (Emilio Hina Jr.) in 1975, Huenda overhauled the game and introduced it to his ...
