In Response To: squaring the circle (Rich Munitz)

I do not agree. Squaring the circle is finding a more precise numaric value for the surface of the circle. A precice numeric value for a triangle, quadrat, pentagram etc. can be achieved end each next one one is better representation of the circle's surface. For all practical purposes we stop somewhere. The same we do studuing each matter - with more and more exact approximation and never absolute truth. Tomorrow's computer will prove better than neikaz's of today. All science resembles the method of squaring the circle.
