BONUS PROBLEM!!

Bonus problem #2: Consider a square with side length L. Let R be the region inside the square consisiting of all points that are closer to the center of the square than to any side of the square. What is the area of R ?

This is an interesting problem -- the hard part is to draw a good picture of the region and get equations for its (curved) sides. (Can you do it with Maple?)

For full credit, you must be as specific as you possibly can! When you have solved it, either write up the solution by hand and give it to me, or else send the solution to

deturck@math.upenn.edu

by electronic mail - extra credit for the first complete solution I receive.
