| Abstract |
At the end of the nineteenth century the algebraic geometer Frank Morley discovered a nice little theorem on the trisectors of a triangle, known as ‘Morley’s trisector theorem’. In the March issue Jan van de Craats and Jan Brinkhuis elucidated the role of cardioids in Morley’s discovery of his theorem. In this article Jan van de Craats aims to answer the question why Morley was interested in studying cardioids at all.
