Archimedes : What Did He Do Besides Cry Eureka? (Classroom Resource Material) (Classroom Resource Material)

Editorial Reviews
Ed Sandifur
The book is most timely, appearing, as it does, so soon after the October 1998 auction for $2 million of the Archimedes Palimpsest, and in fact, while the Palimpsest was on exhibition at the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore. By the end of 155 pages, the reader is convinced that Archimedes deserves his position on Gauss' pedastal. More books like Stein's book on Archimdes would be welcome.

Choice Magazine, March 2000
Highly recommended to anyone interested in mathematics and its history, as it is an eye-opening and a great read.
