This book is Volume I of the first authoritative translation of his works into English. It is also the first publication of a major ancient Greek mathematician to include a critical edition of the diagrams and the first translation into English of Eutocius' ancient commentary on Archimedes. Furthermore, it is the first work to offer recent evidence based on the Archimedes Palimpsest, the major source for Archimedes, lost between 1915 and 1998. A commentary on the translated text studies the cognitive practice assumed in writing and reading the work, and it is Reviel Netz's aim to recover the original function of the text as an act of communication. Particular attention is paid to the aesthetic dimension of Archimedes' writings. Taken as a whole, the commentary offers a groundbreaking approach to the study of mathematical texts.Mathematics, GreekGeometryEarly works to 1800MechanicsEarly works to 1800Mathematics, Greek.GeometryMechanics510Archimedes2812Archimedes2812Netz RevielEutociusof Ascalon,UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910965466003321Works of Archimedes354853UNINA
