A Relationship between the Tractrix and Logarithmic Curves with Mechanical Applications
Result description
The ‘‘problem of exactness’’ consists in determining, in different historical periods, the canons of constructions deemed appropriate for mathematical problem-solving. This article is about the changing of the canons of construction between the half of the 17th to the first half of the 18th century. We also introduce a new construction for two transcendental curves: the tractrix and the logarithmic curves.
