Henri Brocard and the Geometry of the Triangle

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

During the last half of the nineteenth century there was a great revival of interest in the field of geometry. A large part of this interest had its origin in a simple problem submitted to a contemporary mathematical periodical by a French army officer. The problem was to find a point O within a triangle ABC such that the angles OAB, OBC and OCA would be equal. The name of the army captain who submitted the problem was Brocard—Pierre René Jean-Baptiste Henri Brocard.
