The inscribed square problem or Toeplitz conjecture asks if / states that every Jordan curve (i.e. simple closed curve in $\mathbb R^2$) admits an inscribed square, i.e. a square whose vertices all ...

Mathematicians have finally solved a geometry problem that has puzzled the field for decades. By wiggling a needle around while spinning it, you can minimize the amount of space it moves through, ...
