Petr’s miracle: Why was it lost for 100 years? (Mathologer Masterclass)

I really had a lot of fun bringing this one to life, maybe too much fun :) Very good Wiki page on the Petr–Douglas–Neumann theorem Napoleon’s theorem and the PDN theorem at Cut-the-knot Petr’s original paper Worth a look for eigenpolygon decomposition and other application within geometry, etc. A fantastic app that does the eigenpolygon decomposition contributed by Steven De Keninck from the Computer Vision Group at the Uni
