In this article we examine the role of mappings in elementary geometry. After making some comments about the Erlangen programme
initiated by Felix Klein in 1872, wherein he proposed a way of studying geometries based on the underlying transformation
groups, we see how theorems like Von Aubel’s theorem and Napoleon’s theorem can be proved in an elegant manner using similarity
mappings, and how some construction problems may be solved using isometries. At the end we present a recent proof by Alain
Connes of “Morley’s Miracle”, based on affine transformations.

It is always of interest when one finds a property that is true only of some given object, or some given class of objects.
For example, if n > 1 is an integer, then (n − 1)! + 1 is divisible by n just when n is a prime number. In this article we look at some properties that are true only for the integer 2.

For non-negative integers k, n, let P
k
(n) denote the sum {fx27-1}. We show by two different means that if k ≥ 3 and odd, then n
2(n+1)2 iss a factor of the polynomial P
k
(n); and if k ≥ 2 and even, then n (n+1) (2n+1) is a factor of the polynomial P
k
(n). We also derive a relatively unknown result first obtained by Johann Faulhaber in the 17th century.

In this article, we describe briefly a number-theoretic problem first studied by Sierpiński, now known as theSierpiński problem. The problem remains open. 相似文献
