Construction of the Tangent to a Cycloid Proposed by Wallis and Fermat
Science and Philosophy 4 (2):97-106 (2016)
Abstract
In this paper some methods used in the XVII century for the construction of the tangents to a cycloid in a point are exposed: the kinematical method employed by Roberval, the classical geometrical method used by Wallis and the Fermat’s construction as a consequence of his tangents method.Links
