Extract
Let be a plane closed convex curve, and regard as the boundary of a billiard table. If a perfectly elastic billiard ball is set moving on the table, its path will be a polygon inscribed in ; and this will be closed if and only if the motion is periodic. We seek periodic paths which are triangles.
