    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_(geometry)

    In mathematics, particularly in geometry, quadrature (also called squaring) is a historical process of drawing a square with the same area as a given plane figure or computing the numerical value of that area. A classical example is the quadrature of the circle (or squaring the circle).
