Description

This lecture covers the concept of non-constructible figures, focusing on the quadrature and trisection of angles. Starting with Archimedes' extension of proportions in circles, it delves into the construction of specific angles using Nicomedes' instrument. The use of mechanical instruments in architecture, exemplified by Claude Perrault's adaptation of Nicomedes' tool for column curvature, is also discussed.
