Carl Anton Bretschneider

Carl Anton Bretschneider (27 May 1808 – 6 November 1878) was a mathematician from Gotha, Germany. Bretschneider worked in geometry, number theory, and history of geometry. He also worked on logarithmic integrals and mathematical tables. He was one of the first mathematicians to use the symbol for Euler's constant when he published his 1837 paper. He is best known for his discovery of Bretschneider's formula for the area of a general quadrilateral on a plane, where, and are the sides of the quadrilateral, is the semiperimeter, and and are two opposite angles. He is the son of Karl Gottlieb Bretschneider, a theologian. (Wikipedia).

The Bretschneider von Staudt formula for a quadrilateral | Rational Geometry Math Foundations 132

Brahmagupta's formula gives the area of a cyclic quadrilateral in terms of its four (outside) `lengths', and the CQQ theorem was a logically correct reformulation of that result, using quadrances instead of `distances'. But what about a general quadrilateral? This is a redo of last week's
