Chapter Chapter 7 in Solving Problems in Scientific Computing Using Maple and MATLAB®, 1997, pp 103-121 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract We consider the following problem: Given a billiard table (not necessarily rectangular) and two balls on it, from which direction should the first ball be struck, so that it rebounds off the rim of the table, and then impacts the second ball? This problem has previously been solved for a circular table in [1, 3].
