Rename article?

[edit]

This article's title is kind of terrible. I'm pretty sure the phrase "dividing a circle into areas" is a very general phrase, and doesn't specifically refer to this problem. I think the title "Moser's circle problem" would be better. Nog642 (talk) 07:38, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on gap in 'proof'

[edit]

Just found this (odd) page.

Well, I guess this is like

f(n) - f(n-1) = C(n)

with c(n) cubic, so the answer is a quartic?

Anyone want to go in and sort this out?

Regular polygon?

[edit]

What happens if one divides a circle using an inscribed regular polygon (i.e. "case (a)" as described in the "Lemma" section may occur)? More specifically, given a regular n-gon, what is = <total number of areas created>? - SigmaEpsilonΣΕ 16:38, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Forum, but I guess it's just 2n... 8.8.202.167 (talk) 02:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing on this page links to circle and yeah, it should. But the text is pretty dense and I'm not going to figure out where. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 18:13, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done, in the first sentence. Nog642 (talk) 07:38, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
