摘要:
AbstractThe attempt to divide a random angle into three precisely equal parts using only compasses and straightedge and complying rigidly with the rules of Euclidean geometry has always eluded mathematicians and was finally proven impossible by P. L. Wantzel in 1847. This paper demonstrates a simple construction using only compasses and straightedge which achieves an extremely accurate trisection and questions the significance of Wantzel's proof.
