Abstract

Constructibility proves a cornerstone of early demonstrative mathematics. Inclusion of angle measure techniques in the overall development provides an integrated and appealing challenge. Such fundamental notions from the distant past are symbolized impressively by the Euclidean inscribed polygon – and bring into focus the time-scattered topics of Babylonian sexagesimal measure, the basic tools of Greek geometers, and key theorems of modern-day number theory.
