Abstract of the talk:
One of the problems that the ancient Greeks (600 BC-400 AD) were preoccupied with was the following: What kind of geometric constructions can be carried out using a straightedge and compass. In this talk, we shall review how modern mathematics provides an elegant answer to this question.
