Nigel Tufnel and Doubling the Cube

Happy 11-11! t's Nigel Tufnel Day! If you've seen Spinal Tap, you know that D-minor is the saddest of all keys. You also know that Nigel didn't know the difference between inches and feet, much like the ancient Delians didn't know the difference between length and volume. The Delian Problem, also known as Doubling the Cube, provides a problem that is impossible to solve. This fun problem is definitely worth tackling and learning more about! If you want to learn more about the Delian Problem, please visit me at www.MathScienceHistory.com where I provide links to a more thorough explanation, as well as to the infamous Stonehenge scene that I'm talking about.  To purchase Hypatia: The Sum of Her Life, visit https://a.co/d/eU41Uun  Until next week, Happy Nigel Tufnel Day!
