Project Description

SIMULATION OF AN ELLIPTICAL BILLARD


In one of his books, the polish mathematician Hugo Steinhaus outlines the idea
of an elliptical billard table! He distinguishes three cases of trajectory,
depending on throwing the ball:
1) between the two focuses of the ellipse,
2) between one focus and the edge of the billard,
3) passing through a focus.
This program allows to visualize the envelope of trajectories in the three cases
with a limitation of 100 rebounds.
