A Double Discovery: The Square Of The Circle is a book written by Rufus Fuller and first published in 1892. The book explores the mathematical concept of squaring the circle, which is the challenge of constructing a square with the same area as a given circle using only a compass and a straightedge. Fuller presents his own solution to the problem, which involves a unique approach that he calls the double discovery. He also discusses the history of attempts to square the circle, dating back to ancient Greece, and examines the various methods that have been proposed over the years.In addition to mathematical theory, A Double Discovery also touches on philosophical and spiritual themes, with Fuller suggesting that the quest to square the circle represents a search for a deeper understanding of the universe and our place within it.Overall, this book is a fascinating exploration of a challenging mathematical problem, as well as a thought-provoking meditation on the nature of knowledge and discovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
