A physical solution of the Apollonian problem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 October 2008
Extract
This celebrated problem—to describe a circle to touch three given circles—admits of a simple experimental solution which might be found interesting by a mathematical class.
The surface on which the circles lie may be either a plane or a sphere, but the latter case is the more convenient to deal with, and will be the one taken.
