The Shad-Fack Transom
Crannell, Annalisa
College Mathematics Journal, v42 n4 p309-316 Sep 2011
We provide several constructions, both algebraic and geometric, for determining the ratio of the radii of two circles in an Apollonius-like packing problem. This problem was inspired by the art deco design in the transom window above the Shadek Fackenthal Library door on the Franklin & Marshall College campus.
