| 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’. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, many proofs of this theorem have been published. In this article Jan van de Craats and Jan Brinkhuis elucidate the role of cardioids in Morley’s discovery of his theorem.
