@helenS Are you enjoying it? There is some interesting history there. Doesn’t it go back to Isaac Newton?

@Harmonium1923 Actually the whole thing goes back to mathematicians in ancient Greece! They realized that a circle may be seen as a polygon with infinite sides, and the length of each "side" being infinitesimal.
It is a fascinating matter. To me it's more exciting than a novel.
