Extractions: Version for printing Giovanni Ceva was educated in a Jesuit college in Milan, then studied at the university of Pisa. He taught at Pisa before being appointed Professor of mathematics at the University of Mantua in 1686, a post he held for the rest of his life. When appointed in 1686 Giovanni Ceva served the Gonzagas rulers. However in 1708 Austria annexed the duchy and began to construct heavy fortifications. Giovanni Ceva quickly moved to support the new Austrian regime. For most of his life Giovanni Ceva worked on geometry. He discovered one of the most important results on the synthetic geometry of the triangle between Greek times and the 19 th Century. The theorem states that lines from the vertices of a triangle to the opposite sides are concurrent precisely when the product of the ratio the sides are divided is 1. He published this in De lineis rectis Ceva also rediscovered and published Menelaus 's theorem. He also studied applications of mechanics and statics to geometric systems. Although he wrongly concluded that the periods of oscillation of two pendulums were in the same ratio as their lengths, he later corrected the error.

Extractions: by Alex Bogomolny 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.

Extractions: Sites for parents Giovanni Ceva (1648-1734) proved a theorem bearing his name that is seldom mentioned in Elementary Geometry courses. It's a regrettable fact because not only it unifies several other more fortunate statements but its proof is actually as simple as that of the less general theorems. Additionally, the general approach affords, as is often the case, rich grounds for further meaningful explorations. In a triangle ABC, three lines AD, BE and CF intersect at a single point K if and only if (The lines that meet at a point are said to be concurrent 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, AEG and BCE, AGK and BDK, CDK and AHK. From these and in that order we derive the following proportions: AF/FB=AH/BC (*)

http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/Texts.Folder/ratio/Ceva.html

Extractions: Given any triangle ABC with a point M in the interior. Segments through M from each vertex to the opposite sides of the triangle are Cevians and Ceva's theorem says that the product of the ratios of the pairs of segments formed on each side of the triangle by the intersection point is equal to 1, where the ratios are taken in same orientation on each side. Further, if the ratio formed by any three Cevians is equal to 1, then the three Cevians are concurrent.

http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMT669/Student.Folders/Bailey.Heather/Essay 1/Ceva's.

Extractions: Several similar triangles can now be recognized such as: AGH ~ BGC , AFI ~ CFB , AMI ~ EMB, AMH ~ EMC. We can conclude that from AGH ~ BGC that AG/GB = AH/BC and from AFI ~ CFB that AF/FC = AI/BC. Also, AMI ~ EMB shows that AI/BE = AM/ME and AMH ~ EMC shows that AH/EC = AM/ME. Therefore we know that AI/BE = AH/ EC which gives us that BE/EC = AI/AH.

Extractions: Ceva's Theorem Ceva's Theorem states that if three lines are drawn in a triangle from each vertex to the opposite sides (AA', BB', and CC' in the figure) they intersect in a single point if, and only if, the sides are divided into parts so that : The theorem is named for Giovanni Ceva, an Italian mathematician who lived from 1648 to 1734. The lines from each vertex to the opposite side are often called Cevians in his honor. You can find a biography of Ceva at the St. Andrews University web site. This theorem makes some of the geometric proofs of concurrency almost trivial corollarys . The medians, for example, divide each side into a 1:1 ratio, so that all three of the ratios in the formula equal 1, and therefore have a product of one. It is almost as easy to prove the angle bisectors meet in a single point with Ceva's theorem. Here you can find a clever javascript proof of Ceva's Thm that requires nothing beyond middle school geometry formulas. There is a second simple identity that is known, but not WELL known. Let three cevians be drawn from the vertices (A, B, and C)through a common point, P, and intersecting the opposite sides (perhaps extended) at A', B', and C' as in the figure. Then for the points as described, it is true that AP/AA' + BP/BB' + CP/CC' = 2 . I was first exposed to this pretty little property in a note to the MathForum Geometry discussion list by the Greek Mathematician Antreas P. Hatzipolakis. I recently learned on one of the geometry discussion lists at the Math Forum that the Cevian is also used in 3-D for the segment from a vertex of a tetrahedron to the opposite face (possibly extended). In the same thread I had speculated that I thought the property above would extend to the tetrahedron as well with a sum of the ratios equal to three. Eisso J Atzema of The University of Maine confirmed my belief with a simple proof that extended from triangles to any N-dimensional simplex. I quote directly from his post:
Origins Of Some Arithmetic Terms

http://www.pballew.net/arithme1.html

Extractions: Origins of some Math terms Back to Math Words Alphabetical Index Abscissa is the formal term for the x-coordinate of a point on a coordinate graph. The abscissa of the point (3,5) is three. The word is a conjunction of ab (remove) + scindere (tear). Literally then, to tear or cut apart, as a line perpendicular to the x-axis would do to the coordinate plane. The main root is closely related to the Latin root from which we get the word scissors. Leibniz apparently coined the mathematical use of the term around 1692. Absolute Value The word absolute is from a variant of absolve and has a meaning related to free from restriction or condition. It seems that the mathematical phrase was first used by Karl Weierstrass in reference to complex numbers. In "The Words of Mathematics", Steven Schwartzman suggests that the use of the word for real values only became common in the middle of the 20th century. For complex numbers the absolute value is also called magnitude or length of the complex number. Complex numbers are sometimes drawn as a vector using an Argand Diagram After posting a request for information to the Historia Matematica discussion group about the use of the tilde to indicate absolute difference in England I received the following update from Herbert Prinz: Acute is from the Latin word acus for needle, with derivatives generalizing to anything pointed or sharp. The root persists in the words acid (sharp taste), acupuncture (to treat with needles) and acumen (mentally sharp). An acute angle then, is one which is sharp or pointed. In mathematics we define an acute angle as one which has a measure of less than 90
