Rediscovering Pascal's Mystic Hexagon
Augros, Michael
College Mathematics Journal, v43 n3 p194-202 May 2012
While the path to mathematical discovery is often intuitive and not simply reducible to the application of a method, neither is it in most cases entirely haphazard. Certain kinds of questions and certain ways of looking at things tend to produce new and interesting results. To illustrate, this paper tells a story of how someone might discover Pascal's Mystic Hexagon.
