Langley’s Adventitious Angles the first of the three unsolved problems listed by Rigby in his 1978 paper. Langley’s Adventitious Angles Langley’s Adventitious Angles is a mathematical problem posed by Edward Mann Langley in "The Mathematical Gazette" in 1922. In its original form the problem was as follows: formula_1 is an isosceles triangle. A solution was developed by James Mercer in 1923. This solution involves drawing one additional line, and then making repeated use of the fact that the internal angles of a triangle add up to 180° to prove that several triangles drawn within the large triangle are all isosceles. Many other solutions
Zero degrees of freedom Zero degrees of freedom In statistics, the non-central chi-squared distribution with zero degrees of freedom can be used in testing the null hypothesis that a sample is from a uniform distribution on the interval (0, 1). This distribution was introduced by Andrew F. Siegel in 1979. The chi-squared distribution with "n" degrees of freedom is the probability distribution of the sum where However, if and formula_4 are independent, then the sum of squares above has a non-central chi-squared distribution with "n" degrees of freedom and "noncentrality parameter" It is trivial that a "central" chi-square distribution with zero degrees of freedom
