Review text

Landen's Theorem wird mit Hülfe einer Ellipse, deren Axen \(2a\) und \(2b\), einer zweiten Ellipse, deren Axen \(2(1+e)\) und \(2(1-e)\), und einer Hyperbel, deren Queraxe \(2e\) und deren Excentricität \(\frac 1e\) ist, bewiesen. Die in dem zweiten Theil behandelten Curven genügen der Gleichung \[ F(p^2(a^2+b^2-r^2),\; r^2(a^2+b^2-p^2),\;c)=0, \] worin \(F\) eine willkürliche Function, \(c\) eine Constante, \(r\) den Radiusvector vom Pol aus, \(p\) die Länge der Senkrechten vom Pol auf die Tangente bedeuten.
