Geometric constructions & algebraic numbers

Ruler and

compasses vs.

origamis

Ancient Greek mathematicians have greatly developed geometry (Euclid, Pythagoras, Thales, Eratosthenes...)

They raised the question whether certain constructions can be made byruler and compasses Quadrature of the circle ? a square constructingThis means: whose perimeter is equal to the perimeter of a given circle. It was solved only in 1882 by Lindemann, after more than 2000 years : constructionis not possible with ruler and compasses !

Neither is it possible totrisect an angle(Wantzel 1837)
