Quadratic algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras; they include the symmetry algebras of 2nd order superintegrable systems in 2 dimensions as special cases. The superintegrable systems are exactly solvable physical systems in classical…
It is shown that the complex Bernoulli differential equations admitting the supplementary structure of a Lie-Hamilton system related to the book algebra $\mathfrak{b}_2$ can always be solved by quadratures, providing an explicit solution of…
Quaternions, split quaternions, and hybrid numbers are very well-known number systems. These number systems are used to make geometry in Euclidean and Lorentz spaces. These number systems can be obtained with the help of a quadratic form.…
In his famous work, "Measurement of a Circle," Archimedes described a procedure for measuring both the circumference of a circle and the area it bounds. Implicit in his work is the idea that his procedure defines these quantities. Modern…
We approach several themes of classical geometry of the circle and complete them with some original results, showing that not everything in traditional math is revealed, and that it still has an open character. The topics were chosen…
Everybody knows from school how to solve a quadratic equation of the form $x^2-px+q=0$ graphically. But this method can become tedious if several equations ought to be solved, as for each pair $(p,q)$ a new parabola has to be drawn.…
We prove that almost every triangle can be dissected only into $n^2$ triangles which have to be equal one another. Moreover, such a dissection is unique for every $n$. It turns out that to solve this "simple" problem it is convenient to use…
As part of the study of Coxeter's friezes, M. Cuntz introduced the notion of irreducible $\lambda$-quiddity cycle. The objective of this note is to list all the irreducible $\lambda$-quiddity cycles on the ring $\mathbb{Z}[\alpha]$ with…

Attempting to create a general framework for studying new results on transcendental numbers, this paper begins with a survey on transcendental numbers and transcendence, it then presents several properties of the transcendental numbers $e$…
In this paper, we first present the relation between a transversal in a Latin square with some concepts in its Latin square graph, and give an equivalent condition for a Latin square has an orthogonal mate. The most famous open problem…
We have established a 1-1 correspondence between a solution of the universal Whitham hierarchy and a twistor space. The twistor space consists of a complex surface and a family of complex curves together with a meromorphic 2-form. The…
We consider the problem of assigning radii to a given set of points in the plane, such that the resulting set of circles is connected, and the sum of radii is minimized. We show that the problem is polynomially solvable if a connectivity…
We prove that one can cover the $1 \times b$ rectangle by equal squares on both sides in one layer iff $b = p \pm \sqrt{p^2 - r^2} $, where $p \ge r \ge 0$ and $p,q \in \mathbb{Q}$.
We consider the problem of writing real polynomials as determinants of symmetric linear matrix polynomials. This problem of algebraic geometry, whose roots go back to the nineteenth century, has recently received new attention from the…
A triangle with rational sides and rational area is called a rational triangle. In this paper we consider three problems of finding pairs of rational triangles which have a common circumradius as well as either a common perimeter or a…
We determine the symmetrized topological complexity of the circle, using primarily just general topology.
The classical quadratic formula and some of its lesser known variants for solving the quadratic equation are reviewed. Then, a new formula for the roots of a quadratic polynomial is presented.
The aim of this paper is to generalize Apollonius' problem. The problem is to construct a circle that is tangent to three given circles in a plane. We find the maximum possible number of solution circles in the case of more than the three…
Lagrange's Four Squares Theorem states that any positive integer can be expressed as the sum of four integer squares. We investigate the analogous question over Quaternion rings, focusing on squares of elements of Quaternion rings with…
