Dynamic Geometry Module Lesson 3: Ceva's Theorem Discovering Ceva's Theorem This result deals with line segments that go from one vertex of a triangle to a point on the opposite side. In tribute to the Italian mathematician Giovanni Ceva, these are sometimes called cevians of the triangle. In the figure below, AW AX BY , and CZ (in red) are all examples of cevians for the triangle ABC (in blue). Although the term cevian may be new to you, the concept is certainly not. You have seen examples. For instance, the medians, the altitudes, and the angle bisectors are examples of cevians. You have probably noticed that, in each of these examples, the three cevians all go through a single point. Ceva's Theorem gives a condition that determines whether or not three cevians from the three vertices of a triangle will have this concurrency property. Open the next sketch ( See file ex3_1.gsp ). This shows a generic triangle along with three cevians, one from each vertex. We have also included the ratios into which the endpoints of the cevians divide their corresponding sides of the triangle. Use this sketch to perform the following experiments. In each case, record the values for the ratios CX XB AY YC , and BZ ZA Set X and Y to be as close as you can make them to the midpoints of BC and CA respectively. This means that the corresponding ratios should be as close as you can make them to 1.000. Now slide

Ceva's Theorem This theorem was proved by Giovanni Ceva (1648-1734). Ceva's theorem states that given three arbitrary cevians AD, BE and CF, the three of them all meet at a point P if and only if (1) AF/FB · BD/DC · CE/EA = 1 (The lines that meet at a point are said to be concurrent Proof: Extend the lines BE and CF beyond the triangle until they meet GH, the line through A parallel to BC. There are several pairs of similar triangles: AHF and BCF, AGE and CBE, AGP and DBP, DCP and AHP. From these and in that order we derive the following proportions: AF/FB=AH/BC (*) CE/EA=BC/AG (*) AG/BD=AP/DP AH/DC=AP/DP from the last two we conclude that AG/BD = AH/DC and, hence, BD/DC = AG/AH (*). Multiplying the identities marked with (*) we get AF/FB · BD/DC · CE/EA = AH/BC · BC/AG · AG/AH = (AH·BC·AG)/(BC·AG·AH) = 1 Indeed, assume that P is the point of intersection of BE and CF and draw the line AP until its intersection with BC at a point D'. Then, from the just proven part of the theorem it follows that AF/FB · BD'/D'C · CE/EA = 1 On the other hand, it's given that

The Italian Tradition This may look odd. Italian economists don't usually figure very prominently in histories of economic thought. Most people would probably only be able to name the giants Vilfredo Pareto and Piero Sraffa (both of whom were emigrants, incidentally). But Italy has had a very old and distinctive heritage in economics that is impossible to ignore. This distinctiveness emerged in the 18th Century, when Neapolitan economist, Ferdinando Galiani (1751) "broke off" from the main streams of Enlightenment economic thinking. He joined in the general reaction against Mercantilist thought, but he did not follow the path of the French Physiocratic and Scottish schools. Instead, Galiani initiated the two avenues which formed the "Italian tradition" in economics: the serious analysis of government as an economic entity and a utility-based theory of natural value. For Galiani, the economy must be analyzed more juridically than pseudo-scientifically. Government, he argued, is an important entity in any economy. It can, via its laws and fiscal policies, influence the economy and society for good and evil. Theories of the "natural state" without a State were, for him, hopelessly abstract and dangerously naive. The policy conclusions of the Physiocratic sect laissez-faire, laissez-passer

Triangle Geometers Euclid's Elements and other remnants from ancient Greek times contain theorems about triangles and descriptions of four triangle centers: centroid, incenter, circumcenter, and orthocenter. Later triangle geometers include Euler, Pascal, Ceva, and Feuerbach. In 1873, Emile Lemoine presented a paper "on a remarkable point of the triangle," now known as the Lemoine point or symmedian point. This paper, writes Nathan Altshiller Court ( College Geometry , page 304), "may be said to have laid the foundations...of the modern geometry of the triangle as a whole." Court also describes seminal papers by Henri Brocard and J. Neuberg and names Lemoine, Brocard, and Neuberg as the three co-founders of modern triangle geometry. An astonishing wave of interest and publications in triangle geometry swept through the last years of the 19th century and then collapsed during the early years of the 20th. However, many new gemstones in the fields of triangle geometry remained to be unearthed with new excavating tools, such as computers and methods from other areas of mathematics. All of this has led to the state of the art up to 1995, as described in Philip J. Davis

Search MAA Online MAA Home Cut The Knot! An interactive column using Java applets by Alex Bogomolny A Matter of Appreciation October 1999 I have a recollection. Years ago, a childhood friend of mine, Boris, shared with me with excitement an unusual experience he had on a visit to the Tretj'yakov Art Gallery in Moscow. He was accompanied by a professional painter, a good acquaintance of his older sister. While Boris was making a round in one of the halls, he observed that the painter remained all that time on the same spot studying a certain picture. Curious, my friend asked the painter what was it about the picture that kept him interested in it for so long. According to Boris, the painter did not reply directly, but, instead, stepped over to the picture and covered a spot on the picture with a palm of his hand. "Have a look at the picture and think of what you see," he requested. After a while, he uncovered the spot, stepped back and asked Boris to have another look. Well, almost 4 decades later, with the names of the painter and the picture long forgotten, I still vividly remember Boris' excitement when he told me of how entirely different, deeper and more beautiful, the picture appeared to him then. This recollection is haunting me. In retrospect, I regret to have never arranged with Boris to visit the gallery and learn how to really

58. Theorems Of Menelaus And Ceva However, the theorem of Menelaus is about 1600 years older than ceva s theorem.Menelaus of Alexandria was born about 70 AD, while giovanni ceva lived http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~scott/mat360.spr04/cindy/MenelausCeva.html

The Theorems of Menelaus and Ceva The Theorem of Menelaus and Ceva's Theorem are very closely related. Both concern the products of ratios of lengths involving lines cutting off parts of a triangle. However, the theorem of Menelaus is about 1600 years older than Ceva's theorem. Menelaus of Alexandria was born about 70 AD, while Giovanni Ceva lived between 1647 and 1734. In our discussion here, we will only briefly state the theorems. For more details and proofs, see the very nice discussion at Cut The Knot and/or your textbook. This page requires a java-enabled browser for correct functioning. You can drag the points labelled A, B, C, P, and Q around with the mouse, and the rest of the picture will change accordingly. Theorem of Menelaus Let three points X, Y, and Z, lie respectively on the sides AC, BC, and AB of triangle ABC. Then the points are collinear if and only if AZ/ZB * CX/XA * BY/YC = -1 Note that these distances are signed, so if Z lies beyond B, the ratio AZ/ZB will be negative because ZB goes in the opposite direction from AZ. In the applet at right, it wasn't possible to calculate signed distances, so the product is positive.
