Many people have heard two things about Archimedes: he
was the greatest mathematician of antiquity, and he ran naked from
his bath crying ‘Eureka!’. However, few people are familiar with
the actual accomplishments upon which his enduring reputation
rests, and it is the aim of this book to shed light upon this
matter. Archimedes’ ability to achieve so much with the few
mathematical tools at his disposal was astonishing. He made
fundamental advances in the fields of geometry, mechanics, and
hydrostatics. No great mathematical expertise is required of the
reader, and the book is well illustrated with over 100 diagrams. It
will prove fascinating to students and professional mathematicians
alike.
