The circle has been known since before the beginning of recorded history. Natural circles are common, such as the full moon or a slice of round fruit. The circle is the basis for the wheel, which, with related inventions such as gears, makes much of modern machinery possible.
The history of the circle is ancient. People used to believe that the moon, sun, and other planets are circular because there was no concept of 3D shapes—mathematicians study circles which helped them develop calculus and astronomy.
The study of the circle goes back beyond recorded history. The invention of the wheel is a fundamental discovery of properties of a circle. The Greeks considered the Egyptians as the inventors of geometry.
23 Οκτ 2024 · circle, geometrical curve, one of the conic sections, consisting of the set of all points the same distance (the radius) from a given point (the centre). A line connecting any two points on a circle is called a chord, and a chord passing through the centre is called a diameter.
Here’s a brief history of finding π. The ancient Babylonians calculated the area of a circle by taking 3 times the square of its radius, which gave a value of pi = 3. One Babylonian tablet (ca. 1900–1680 BC) indicates a value of 3.125 for π, which is a closer approximation.

The problem of squaring the circle in the form which we think of it today originated in Greek mathematics and it is not always properly understood. The problem was, given a circle, to construct geometrically a square equal in area to the given circle.
