摘要

Richelot, F., in the Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, 250–267 (1830) developed the Fuss formulae for bicentric polygons of high order, circuminscribed between two circles. In particular, he demonstrated a doubling technique for deriving the formulae for \( 2n \) 2 n -sided polygons, from the formulae for \( n \) n -sided polygons.

While reviewing and implementing these results from 1830, we noticed that the formulae were not producing closed polygons. Upon further inspection, we uncovered the errant typos and fixed them.
