Triangles of triangles
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 September 2016
Extract
In this article we shall study the ‘shape’ of a triangle, and its relation to the area formula
Δ = √(s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c))
that occupied the time of sixth formers long ago. In so doing we shall resurrect a little ‘Durrel-type’ geometry, and introduce some ideas from the qualitative theory of differential equations, which are becoming increasingly familiar to undergraduates.
