This lecture explores the fundamental operations in Euclidean geometry, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of segments. It delves into the constructibility of numbers, the conditions for constructibility, and the limitations of geometric constructions. The lecture also covers the historical development of geometric concepts and the significance of Descartes' contributions to the integration of geometry and algebra.
