Trisection of an Angle
U n r a v e l e d
(by quadratic equations)
With not a cubic equation in sight! The problem of geometrically constructing an angle that is one third of a given angle has been pondered since the times of the ancient Greek mathematicians of Pythagoras and Archimedes. It sits alongside the "squaring of a circle" and the "doubling of a cube" as the the most famous of geometric problems. Over thirty years of research into the problem by the late H. H. J. Schwarz revealed ground-breaking discoveries , possibly laying to rest this ancient dilemma. His analysis demonstrates unequivocally that a trisection - based algebraically and geometrically - on a quadratic equation, is possible.

Trisection of an Angle Unraveled (by Quadratic Equations) manuscript was developed over a period of thirty years , the main body prior to 1972. It takes the reader in easy steps, each one proved with accepted principles (and not a single cubic equation in sight!) from the beginning of Archimedes attempt and on to the final quadratic equation: Download the manuscript and follow the development, come to your own conclusion. Do not overlook the fact that almost every page introduces a new knowledge out of original ideas. When trisection is achieved, Schwarz's theorem: r = b + rc is an extension of the Pythagoras theorem: a = b + c See pages 8-12 and figures F8-F12 of the full manuscript for the proof. This knowledge has the capacity for you to expand on!
The question of indirect proofs - upsetting the status-quo
The indirect proof that a trisection cannot be constructed has been accepted by academia for over 150 years. However there remain many who are not satisfied with the indirect proof, and believe that a solution is possible - that the problem has not been fully understood. Those who have questioned the acceptance of the indirect proof (of the impossibility of trisecting an angle) are promptly rebuffed by such remarks as:

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

THE QUADRATRIX
Trisecting an angle - Squaring the circle Introduction
Three famous geometrical construction problems, originating from ancient Greek mathematics occupied many mathematicians until modern times. These problems are
  • the duplication of the cube:
    construct (the edge of) a cube whose volume is double the volume of a given cube,
  • angle trisection:
    construct an angle that equals one third of a given angle,
  • the squaring of a circle:
    given (the radius of) a circle, construct (the side of) a square whose area equals the area of the circle.
In the ancient Greek tradition the only tools that are available for these constructions are a ruler and a compass . During the 19th century the French mathematician Pierre Wantzel proved that under these circumstances the first two of those constructions are impossible and for the squaring of the circle it lasted until 1882 before a proof had been given by Ferdinand von Lindemann
If we extend the range of tools the problems can be solved. New tools can be material tools (ex. a "marked ruler", that's a ruler with two marks on it, a "double ruler", that's a ruler with two parallel sides,...), or

Angle Trisection
Most people are familiar from high school geometry with compass and straightedge constructions. For instance I remember being taught how to bisect an angle, inscribe a square into a circle among other constructions. A few weeks ago I explained my job to a group of professors visiting the Geometry Center . I mentioned that I wrote articles on a newsgroup about geometry and that sometimes people write to me with geometry questions. For instance one person wrote asking whether it was possible to divide a line segment into any ratio, and also whether it was possible to trisect an angle. In response to the first question I explained how to find two-thirds of a line segment. I answered the second question by saying it was impossible to trisect an angle with a straightedge and a compass, and gave the person a reference to some modern algebra books as well as an article Evelyn Sander wrote about squaring the circle . One professor I told this story to replied by saying, "Bob it is possible to trisect an angle." Before I was able to respond to this shocking statement he added, "You just needed to use a MARKED straightedge and a compass." The professor was referring to Archimedes' construction for trisecting an angle with a marked straightedge and compass. When someone mentions angle trisection I immediately think of trying to trisect an angle via a compass and straightedge. Because this is impossible I rule out any serious discussion of the manner. Maybe I'm the only one with this flaw in thinking, but I believe many mathematicians make this same serious mistake.

    Back to Islamic Alchemy

    The Time of Abu-l-Wafa Second Half of Tenth Century The period which we have just tried to analyze, and then to reconstruct, was on the whole one of comparative rest. There was no retrogression, but the advance of mankind, which had been so vigorously accelerated during the ninth century through the youthful energy of Islam, was then distinctly slowed up. It is not the first time that we thus witness a momentary quieting down of human activity; on the contrary, we have already had occasion to observe many such periods of fallow. e. g., the first half of the second century B. C., the second half of the fifth, the second half of the sixth, the second half of the seventh, the first half of the eighth. But in each case the slowing up was followed by a new acceleration.
    To come back to the second half of the tenth century, we shall see presently that it was a period of renewed activity in almost every field; the partial fallowness of the first half of the century was thus amply rewarded by more abundant crops and mankind was able to make a few more leaps forward.

Geometric Construction Angle Trisection Angle trisection is the division of an arbitrary angle into three equal angles . It was one of the three geometric problems of antiquity for which solutions using only compass and straightedge were sought. The problem was algebraically proved impossible by Wantzel (1836). Although trisection is not possible for a general angle using a Greek construction, there are some specific angles, such as and radians ( and , respectively), which can be trisected. Furthermore, some angles are geometrically trisectable, but cannot be constructed in the first place, such as (Honsberger 1991). In addition, trisection of an arbitrary angle can be accomplished using a marked ruler (a Neusis construction ) as illustrated above (Courant and Robbins 1996). An angle can also be divided into three (or any whole number ) of equal parts using the quadratrix of hippias or trisectrix An approximate trisection is described by Steinhaus (Wazewski 1945, Steinhaus 1999, p. 7).
