In this paper, based on the theory of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space which generalizes the theory of surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space, beside other results, we will give a characterization of points on…
We determine barycentric coordinates of triangle centers in the elliptic plane. The main focus is put on centers that lie on lines whose euclidean limit (triangle excess --> 0) is the Euler line or the Brocard line. We also investigate…
Using the method of C. V\"or\"os, we establish results on hyperbolic plane geometry, related to triangles. In this note we investigate the orthocenter, the concept of isogonal conjugate and some further center as of the symmedian of a…
We consider the following configuration. Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with circumcenter $O$, and for each vertex $X$, let $H_X$ be the orthocenter of the triangle formed by the other three. Then…
We discover suprising connections between three seemingly different problems: finding right triangles with rational sides in a non-Euclidean geometry, finding three integers such that the difference of the squares of any two is a square,…
An interpretation of selected parts of Newton's Principia, with modern notation and methods. Keplers Laws are derived from an inverse square law using Newton's methods.
A subset of a convex body $B$ containing the origin in a Euclidean space is {\it parkable in $B$} if it can be translated inside $B$ in such a manner that the translate the origin. We provide characterizations of ellipsoids and of centrally…
We establish a relationship between the two important central lines of the triangle, the Euler line and the Brocard axis, in a configuration with an arbitrary rectangle and a random point. The classical Cartesian coordinate system method…
In Euclidean geometry, the Pythagorean theorem is presented as an equation involving three squares. This paper explores how analogous expressions may be identified in spherical and hyperbolic geometries.
We study those Lagrangian surfaces in complex Euclidean space which are foliated by circles or by straight lines. The former, which we call cyclic, come in three types, each one being described by means of, respectively, a planar curve, a…
In the 1770s, Euler wrote a series of papers (E563, E691 and E692) about finding the ellipse with minimal area or perimeter in the family of all ellipses passing through a fixed set of points. This is a translation of all three papers from…
It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a similar result holds for Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. The…
A new way to define the notion of $\C$-orthocenter will be displayed by studying some propierties of four points in the plane which allows to extend the notion of Euler's line, the Six Point Circles and the three-circles theorem, for normed…
In this note, we show that (the germ of) each Euler-like vector field comes from a tubular neighborhood embedding given by the normal exponential map of some Riemannian metric.
While the contents of Euclid's Elements are well-known these days, some characters of the original text have been overlooked due to interpretation by modern mathematical languages. The lens of modern mathematics once anachronistically…
In this article, we study rectifying curves in arbitrary dimensional Euclidean space. A curve is said to be a rectifying curve if, in all points of the curve, the orthogonal complement of its normal vector contains a fixed point. We…
A classic theorem of Euclidean geometry asserts that any noncollinear set of $n$ points in the plane determines at least $n$ distinct lines. Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured that this holds for an arbitrary finite metric space, with a certain…
We study analytic surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space containing two circular arcs through each point. The problem of finding such surfaces traces back to the works of Darboux from XIXth century. We reduce finding all such surfaces to…
For a given triangle $\triangle ABC$, we define two sequences of points on line $BC$ and provide their generalizations to real functions such that centers of circumscribed circles around $A$ and adjacent points in subsequences generate a…
It is well-known that there exists a bijection between the set of lines of the projective 3-dimensional space $P^3$ and all real points of the so-called Pl\"ucker quadric $\Psi$. Moreover one can identify each point of the Pl\"ucker…
