| Description: |
The
works translated here--the two books On the Sphere and Cylinder--were a
source of great pride for Archimedes, the greatest scientist of
antiquity. Accompanying this translation is the first scientific
edition of the diagrams, which incorporates new information from the
recently discovered Archimedes Palimpsest. The volume also includes the
first English translation of Eutocius's commentary. Reviel Netz's
commentary analyzes Archimedes's work from contemporary research
perspectives such as scientific style and the cognitive history of
mathematical texts.
