Summary

This PR adds comprehensive polygon documentation to the Math_Foundations project, including mathematical theory, interactive SVG diagrams, and practical Julia computational examples.

Documentation Enhancements

  • New Polygon Section: Complete documentation covering polygon classification, properties, and triangulation
  • 5 Interactive SVG Diagrams:
    • Convex vs Concave polygons with visual demonstrations
    • Regular vs Irregular hexagons with precise labeling
    • Pentagon fan triangulation example
    • Hexagon fan triangulation example
    • Alternative quadrilateral triangulation methods
  • Cyclic Quadrilaterals: Added documentation with diagrams on cyclic quadrilaterals

Julia Computational Examples

  • Regular Polygon Area Calculations:
    • Symbolic area formula implementation: $F = \frac{1}{4} N s^2 \cot\left(\frac{\pi}{N}\right)$
    • Numerical precision control with multiple formatting options
    • Circle approximation analysis as N → ∞
    • Quantitative error analysis (absolute and relative errors)
  • Triangulation Methods:
    • Formula using radius: $F = \frac{1}{2} N r^2 \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{N}\right)$
    • Multiple calculation approaches demonstrated

Visual Improvements

  • Precise Label Positioning: All SVG diagram labels (sides, angles, vertices) are mathematically centered
  • Professional Quality: Labels use text-anchor="middle" for perfect centering
  • Color Coding: Consistent color scheme across diagrams for clarity
  • Educational Value: Diagrams clearly illustrate geometric concepts

Technical Details

  • 9 commits covering documentation, diagrams, and computational examples
  • Files modified:
    • docs/src/Geometry/03 Polygons.md: Complete polygon documentation
    • docs/src/Geometry/02 Quadrilaterals.md: Cyclic quadrilateral additions
    • notebooks/Basics.ipynb: Julia computational examples
    • docs/src/index.md: Added polygons to sidebar
  • Testing: All Julia code cells execute successfully
  • Documentation build: Verified with julia --project=. docs/make.jl

Educational Impact

  • Demonstrates polygon area for 3600-sided polygon = 1,031,323.7694 (b=1)
  • Shows convergence to circle: 99.999975% accurate with relative error of 2.54×10⁻⁷
  • Multiple calculation methods provide cross-validation
  • Clear mathematical notation using LaTeX throughout

Ready to Merge

  • All changes committed and pushed
  • Documentation builds without errors
  • Diagrams render correctly
  • Julia examples execute successfully
  • No breaking changes to existing code
