How Long is a Piece of String?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Extract
The length of a piece of string is of course given by a real number. While this is a complete answer to the question posed, it is amusing to consider the converse problem of constructing a piece of string whose length (in terms of an appropriate unit) is a given real number and, further, to consider which real numbers can be constructed in this way.
