"A polygon is said to be rational if all its sides and diagonals are rational, and I. J. Schoenberg has posed the difficult question, ‘Can any given polygon be approximated as closely as we like by a ...

Let $Q$ be an ellipse with integer-length axes $a$ and $b$: $$ \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \;.$$ The perimeter of $Q$ is given by the complete elliptic integral of the 2nd kind, $E(\;)$: $4 ...

I ran into a need for isosceles triangles that (1) have the two equal integer side lengths $a$ (but the base $x \in \mathbb{R}$), and (2) the apex angle $\gamma$ is a rational multiple of $\pi$. &...
