Squaring the Circle  
Podcast: Everything Everywhere Daily
Published On: Sun Nov 03 2024
Description: Ancient mathematics was very different than the mathematics you are used to today.  Two primary tools ancient mathematicians used were the compass and the straightedge. With these two very simple objects, they were able to make an astounding number of proofs and mathematical discoveries.  However, there were some problems that were always beyond their grasp.  Learn more about squaring the circle and the problem that eluded mathematicians for over 2000 years on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
