Another good one!

A farmer challenges an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician to fence off the largest amount of area using the least amount of fence.
The engineer made his fence in a circle and said it was the most efficient.

The mathematician laughed at the others and with his design, beat the others. What did he do?
