Cut the Knot!: Polygons: Formality and Intuition

Curated by ACT

This is a very interesting site about polygons. The site begins by distinguishing between shapes whose sides intersect and polygons whose sides do not overlap. After this short introduction, you will find information regarding area and perimeter. Rational and irrational numbers are referred to as the process of inscribing a polygon in a circle (a brief introduction to abstract algebra). The game of billiards is also referred to as involving a natural occurrence of discontinuity. [Requires Java.]
