Sentences with TRISECTOR (3)
Early in the century there was a Turkish trisector of the angle, Hussein Effendi, who published two methods.
The ablest mathematicians declare that the problem cannot be solved by such means, and De Morgan gives the following reasons for this conclusion: "The trisector of an angle, if he demand attention from any mathematician, is bound to produce from his construction, an expression for the sine or cosine of the third part of any angle, in terms of the sine or cosine of the angle itself, obtained by the help of no higher than the square root.
The mathematician knows that such a thing cannot be; but the trisector virtually says it can be, and is bound to produce it to save time.
