However, Sundara Row’s angle trisection is admittedly only an approximation and he mistakenly implies that constructing a cube root is impossible in general and, in particular, that the duplication of the cube canno

The author writes in a charming style and nicely intersperses history and philosophy within the mathematics. He hopes that readers will learn a little geometry and a littl
