| | Riemann for Anti-Dummies Part 12 |
 | | Those magnitudes that are measurable directly by the diameter of the circle, have the first degree of knowability, those measurable by a part of the diameter, have the second degree, and those whose squares are measurable by the diameter, have the third. |
 | | But to divide it into three parts, that is, to inscribe a triangle in it, requires the generation of a magnitude of the second degree of knowability. |
 | | But, to divide the circle into five parts, requires the generation of a magnitude of the third degree of knowability, specifically, the golden section. |
