Pentagramma mirificum and elliptic functions (Napier, Gauss, Poncelet, Jacobi, ...)

Vadim Schechtman (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

We give an exposition of unpublished fragments of Gauss where he discovered (using a work of Jacobi) a remarkable connection between Napier pentagons on the sphere and Poncelet pentagons on the plane. As a corollary we find a parametrization in elliptic functions of the classical dilogarithm five-term relation.
