WHERE SCIENCE STOPS SHORT
Why 1t Wili Always Sc Impossible to
Square the Circle with Per-
feet Accuracy,

To correspondents who suggests an
experimental method of squarns the
circle, lhp editor of the Scientific
american replies that the method
seems correct. but adds:
Your results will, however, be no
more accurate than YOUR ability TO con
struct spuares and circles and 10 meas
ure lin and angles This does not
go nue. beyond a ten-thousandth OF
an inch. This may be quite sufficient
for the engineer, but it is not for The
mathematician. He demands absolute
accuracy IN 1899 ii was proved by
iindemann that ii was impossible IN
lind the SIDE of square which WAS
equal to a given circle. If this is 50.
ali the other figures which you cor
struct are equally impossible OF exact
determination. You cannot make y
perfect square or a perfect circle with
wood or metals. In everything we
make We have TO say. exact within
the limits of measurement
