Yeah, and constructability is usually handled by proving that a length is constructable if it lives in an iterated quadratic extension of the rationals. Pi does not lie in such an extension, so is not a constructable length (and neither is

It's entertaining when reading is entertaining. This was a great "read while eating lunch at work" read because it was entertaining. I didn't really care too much about rodent-repelling tape before reading and don't

Further evidence that e^{ix} = cos(x) + i sin(x) is natural is that it fits in nicely with power series representations. If you define cos(x), sin(x), and e^x by their power series centered at 0 then it's straightforward to see that
