Description

Greek philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician ARCHIMEDES (circa 287 BC-circa 212 BC) is considered by many the greatest mathematician--and possibly the greatest scientist--of all time. He has made priceless contributions to the fields of maths, physics, and engineering, including the discovery of the principle of density and buoyancy. First published in English in 1897, this collection of supplementary writings on treating mechanical problems provides a thorough exposition of Archimedes' methods in mathematics, physics, logic, and even science in general.
