Dear Professors of the whole World
I humbly submit that the work on squaring a circle was done 2500 years ago by Hippocrates of Chios. He gave just simple procedure running a few lines with a diagram of it ( 3rd page ). It has not been analysed in detail by any body all these 25 Centuries. And it has not been recognized perhaps for that reason. (Now this Pi student has given explanations of it).
Mean while the idea of the impossibility of squaring a circle was spread like wild fire , with the proof of transcendence of 3.14159265358...of polygon as Pi of the circle by Lindemann.. And this message has buried the concept of squaring a circle permanently.
In the present context prevailing we have seen an algebraic irrational expression of Pi equal to (14-root2)/4.
Now the question is who is right :
Hippocrates or Lindemann ?
