Description
Circular ripple distortion of a square spiral ."The first of these two misguided visionaries [who claimed to demonstrate squaring the circle ] filled me with a great ambition to do a feat I have never heard of as accomplished by man, namely to convince a circle squarer of his error! The value my friend selected for Pi was 3.2: the enormous error tempted me with the idea that it could be easily demonstrated to BE an error. More than a score of letters were interchanged before I became sadly convinced that I had no chance." Charles Lutwidge Dodgson AKA Lewis Carroll
