This lecture explores the ancient mathematical problem of constructing rectangles with equivalent areas to squares, focusing on conic sections like parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas. It delves into the historical context, including the work of Kepler and Newton, and discusses the intersection of conics for solving geometric problems.
