Dividing the circle, a problem for both mathematicians and artistsThe problem of dividing the circle in equal parts has accompanied the history of mathematics, with contributions ranging from Euclid to Gauss. The problem was also addressed by artists such as Dürer, with different motivations and points of view. In this talk we will briefly overview a few of these contributions, and see how some 20th century artwork has even taken this topic as one of its central themes.
