DESCRIPTION: The square peg problem is at least 106 years old and still uns
 olved in full generality. It asks whether any simple closed curve in the pl
 ane inscribes a square. By “inscribes a square” we mean that the curve cont
 ains the four vertices of a square. The square itself may intersect both th
 e bounded and unbounded components. Substantial progress on the problem has
  been made using methods from equivariant topology: Piecewise linear\, anal
 ytic\, convex\, and locally monotone curves are all known to inscribe squar
 es. We present a recent positive result by T. Tao that takes an entirely di
 fferent\, “analytical” approach involving areas defined by line integrals a
 nd Stokes’ theorem.
