Some interesting things about 'square circles'...
- Circles represent Heaven and perfection in many cultures. Tai Chi is represented by the circle, leading to the Yin and Yang symbol.
- In the history of mathematics, there was a long-standing challenge to 'square the circle' - that is, to construct a square whose area was the same as the area of some given circle.
- There is a world-wide consortium of "round square" schools - mostly private - that promote the vision that "education is primarily about the increase of understanding and tolerance."
