Well-known Theorems on the Ellipse deduced by Projection from the Circle; also a Theorem on Curvature
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 October 2008
Extract
1. In the treatment of the geometry of the ellipse, projection from the circle offers an easy and direct means of obtaining the properties of conjugate diameters of the ellipse. In text-books generally, little further use is made of the method of projection, except in the case of a few exercises. The following note shows how it can be employed to derive most of the well-known properties of the ellipse.
