A History of Folding in MathematicsIntroduction

A History of Folding in Mathematics: Introduction [Since Antiquity, and initially in ancient Greece, solutions have been sought for the following three problems, using only compass and straightedge: (1) the squaring of the circle: construct a square equal in area to a circle; (2) the duplication of the cube: given a cube, construct the edge of a second cube whose volume is double that of the first; (3) the trisection of an angle: divide an arbitrary angle into three equal angles.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Since Antiquity, and initially in ancient Greece, solutions have been sought for the following three problems, using only compass and straightedge: (1) the squaring of the circle: construct a square equal in area to a circle; (2) the duplication of the cube: given a cube, construct the edge of a second cube whose volume is double that of the first; (3) the trisection of an angle: divide an arbitrary angle into three equal angles.]
