Where was the namesake of the midpoint polygon educated?
Columbia University
Title: Edward Kasner
Passage: Edward Kasner (April 2, 1878 – January 7, 1955) was a prominent American mathematician who was appointed Tutor on Mathematics in the Columbia University Mathematics Department. Kasner was the first Jew appointed to a faculty position in the sciences at Columbia University. Subsequently, he became an adjunct professor in 1906, and a full professor in 1910, at the university. Differential geometry was his main field of study. In addition to introducing the term "googol", he is known also for the Kasner metric and the Kasner polygon.
Title: Hexagon
Passage: In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ hex, ``six ''and γωνία, gonía,`` corner, angle'') is a six sided polygon or 6 - gon. The total of the internal angles of any hexagon is 720 °.
Title: Montjuïc Cable Car
Passage: The Montjuïc Cable Car (officially Telefèric de Montjuïc, in Catalan) is a gondola lift in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The cable car runs from a lower terminus adjacent to the Montjuïc Park upper station of the Montjuïc funicular, and climbs higher up the Montjuïc hill to a terminal near the Montjuïc Castle on the summit of the hill. At its midpoint, the line executes a 90 degree turn and the cabins pass through Mirador station, although only down-bound cabins stop at this point.
Title: Timaeus (crater)
Passage: Timaeus is a lunar impact crater in the northern part of the Moon, on the north edge of Mare Frigoris. It forms part of the southwestern wall of the large and irregular walled plain W. Bond. The rim of Timaeus is somewhat pentagonal in shape, with rounded corners. There is a central rise in the midpoint of the crater floor.
Title: Lesgaft National State University of Physical Education, Sport and Health
Passage: The Lesgaft National State University of Physical Education, Sport and Health is a university in St. Petersburg, Russia, named after Peter Lesgaft.
Title: Garwood, Texas
Passage: Garwood is an unincorporated community in Colorado County, Texas, United States. It is located on State Highway 71 at virtually the geographic midpoint between Columbus, Texas and El Campo, Texas. Nearly 1,000 people lived in Garwood in 2000.
Title: Midpoint polygon
Passage: In geometry, the midpoint polygon of a polygon is the polygon whose vertices are the midpoints of the edges of . It is sometimes called the Kasner polygon after Edward Kasner, who termed it the "inscribed polygon" "for brevity".
Title: Newton polygon
Passage: Newton polygons are named after Isaac Newton, who first described them and some of their uses in correspondence from the year 1676 addressed to Henry Oldenburg.
Title: Alfred Witte
Passage: Alfred Witte (2 March 1878 in Hamburg, Germany – 4 August 1941 in Hamburg, Germany), was a German surveyor, astrologer, an amateur astronomer, and the founder of the Hamburg School of Astrology. Witte revived and further developed the use of astrological midpoints (a+b)/2 for precision in astrological analysis and prediction.
Title: Case House (Parkersburg, West Virginia)
Passage: Case House was a historic home located at Parkersburg, Wood County, West Virginia, United States. It was built about 1901, and was a 2½-story brick dwelling in the Queen Anne style. It features a three-story, polygonal corner tower and a multigabled roof.
Title: Polygon
Passage: In elementary geometry, a polygon (/ ˈpɒlɪɡɒn /) is a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed polygonal chain or circuit. These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices (singular: vertex) or corners. The interior of the polygon is sometimes called its body. An n - gon is a polygon with n sides; for example, a triangle is a 3 - gon. A polygon is a 2 - dimensional example of the more general polytope in any number of dimensions.
Title: Shooting at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's 10 metre air rifle
Passage: The women's 10 metre air rifle shooting event at the 2011 Pan American Games will be held on October 17 at the Pan American Shooting Polygon in Guadalajara. The defending Pan American Games champion is Eglys De La Cruz of Cuba.
