Description

This lecture covers the concepts of quadrature and trisection in geometry, focusing on the historical methods proposed by Descartes and Nicomede. It explains the use of mechanical instruments in architecture, such as the conchoid curve for designing columns. The presentation includes demonstrations on rectifying the circumference and squaring the circle using ruler and compass constructions, following the principles established by Euclid and Archimedes.
