Magic shapes

Magic circle (mathematics)

Magic circles were invented by the Song dynasty (960–1279) Chinese mathematician Yang Hui (c. 1238–1298). It is the arrangement of natural numbers on circles where the sum of the numbers on each circle and the sum of numbers on diameters are identical. One of his magic circles was constructed from the natural numbers from 1 to 33 arranged on four concentric circles, with 9 at the center. (Wikipedia).

What exactly is a circle? | Arithmetic and Geometry Math Foundations 28 | N J Wildberger

Moving beyond points and lines, circles are the next geometrical objects we encounter. Here we address the question of how best to introduce this important notion, strictly in the setting of rational numbers, and without metaphysical waffling about `infinite sets.' This lecture is part of

What is the unit circle

👉 Learn about the unit circle. A unit circle is a circle which radius is 1 and is centered at the origin in the cartesian coordinate system. To construct the unit circle we take note of the points where the unit circle intersects the x- and the y- axis. The points of intersection are (1, 0
