Abstract

In this paper, three classical mathematical problems are described: squaring the circle, doubling the cube and trisection of an angle, which date from the time of Ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks demanded constructions only with ruler and compass, which led to the impossibility of a solution of these problems, and we have described some of the solving methods which include also some other tools.

Keywords

three classical problems; squaring the circle; doubling the cube; trisection of an angle
