This is the second of three volumes originated from a series of lectures in mathematics given by professors of Kyoto University in Japan for high school students (the translation of the first volume was published by the AMS in 2003). The main purpose of the lectures was to show the listeners the beauty and liveliness of mathematics using the material that is accessible to people with little preliminary knowledge. The first chapter of this book talks about the theory of trigonometric and elliptic functions. It includes such aspects of this theory as power series expansions, addition and multiple-angle formulas, and arithmetic-geometric mean. The second chapter discusses various aspects of the Poncelet Closure Theorem. This discussion illustrates to the reader the idea of algebraic geometry as a method of studying geometric properties of figures using algebra as a tool.… (more)
