Properties, parameters and Borromini's mysterious construction
"Everything is clearly explained and the many illustrations produced with geogebra are crystal clear. It might however be interesting to have a look at the associated website www.mazzottiangelo.eu/en/pcc.asp where you find links to YouTube videos showing animated geogebra constructions. … For the mathematician, it is invaluable because it brings together so much information that was either not known or never written down or if it was, then at least it was scattered in diverse publications."
(Adhemar Bultheel, European Mathematical Society, euro-math-soc.eu, March, 2017)
"This interesting book deals with surprising properties of polycentric ovals and applications. ... The text and the figures are very readable. The historical remarks and the fields of applications are interesting. The book is enjoyable not only for mathematicians."
(Agota H. Temesvari, zbMATH, 2017)
"Angelo Alessandro Mazzotti, professeur à ITC Di Vittorio à Rome, leur a consacré cette étude exhaustive, avec de très nombreuses figures et illustrationsè ... Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le catalogue des ovales à quatre centres les plus remarquables, utilisés dans l’architecture aux XVIème et XVIIème siècles. Ce livre intéressera également les amateurs d’architecture classique car il comporte des descriptions très complètes des ovales de Borromée du dome de l’église Saint-Charles-aux-quatre-fontaines à Rome, ou encore des ovales figurant dans le plan du Colysée.”
