Archimedes
BY the general consent of all competent judges Archimedes is one of the greatest mathematicians the world has ever seen. It is not easy to justify this opinion to a popular audience, most members of which know little and care less about mathematics; but Sir Thomas Heath’s book ought to succeed in making the ordinary reader understand to some extent the nature of Archimedes' discoveries, and in arousing interest in the achievements of Greek mathematicians.
