A curious misattribution: the early history of ‘Simson's line’
Autor: Douglas Quadling
Publikováno v: The Mathematical Gazette. 96:420-427
When William Wynne Willson died in the summer of 2010 he left behind an incomplete text covering a number of geometrical topics, including the so-called ‘Simson line’. Geoff Wain, who was completing and editing the text with a view to possible pu

This story begins in Nick Lord's workshop session at the Joined Up Mathematics conference at Keele in April 2008. He had decided to talk about Figure 1 and the results concerning it featured in [1]. He was also having an interesting e-mail exchange w

Further forays into n dimensions
Autor: Douglas Quadling
Publikováno v: The Mathematical Gazette. 91:462-468
Most students at this level are likely to have come across Euler's equation V E + F = 2 which connects the numbers of vertices, edges and faces for a large class of polyhedra in 3 dimensions. (An entertaining account of polyhedra to which the equatio

In 1952 I was invited, with teachers of mathematics from many other schools, to a reception hosted by the Cambridge University Press. The guest of honour was A. W. Siddons, and the purpose was to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the initiation o

π in my eye
Autor: Douglas Quadling
Publikováno v: The Mathematical Gazette. 77:314-321
When students first meet Simpson’s rule, we look for simple applications to show them what it can do. I don’t imagine I am the only teacher who has suggested using it to find a numerical value for π - which up until then they have always had to

Making the grade
Autor: Douglas Quadling
Publikováno v: The Mathematical Gazette. 76:261-268
The candidates have sat the examination. The examiners have marked the scripts. Everyone has gone on holiday … except the chief examiners, for whom one more task remains. Before the Board’s computer can start to churn out the results slips, they

What is the matter with negative r?
Autor: Douglas Quadling
Publikováno v: The Mathematical Gazette. 75:174-178
Soon after the publication of the new edition of the SMP booklet Formulae for advanced mathematics with statistical tables, I received a letter from a colleague objecting to the statement that “If the origin is taken at a focus of the conic,…, th
