Description

This lecture covers the historical background and geometric constructions related to the duplication of the cube problem, including the significance of cubic roots in ancient times and the false attribution of the instrument to Plato. It also explores the equivalence between three geometric problems and the methods used by ancient mathematicians to tackle these challenges.
