Abstract
The Brocard points, two remarkable points related to a triangle, were first noticed in 1816 by August Leopold Crelle. In a paper published in Berlin, he showed how to determine a point inside a triangle, so that the angles (taken in the same order) formed by the lines joining it to the vertices are equal. Investigations were also made by Karl Friedrich Andreas Jacobi (1795-1855) of Pforta, and by some of his pupils. However, interest in these researches died out, and the matter was soon forgotten.
