History of Mathematics
- For many hundreds of years, it was known that Archimedes, the greatest
ancient Greek mathematician and one of the three greatest mathematicians
of all time (the other two being Newton and Gauss), had somehow found the
correct formulas for the area under a parabola and the volume and surface area of a sphere.
But no one knew how he had done this, since his writings on his method of
discovery had been lost in antiquity. Amazingly, these writings
resurfaced in a middle Eastern monastery in the early years of the 20th century.
They were contained on parchment which
had been erased and overwritten with prayers by Byzantine monks in the twelfth
century. The parchment was lost again during World War I, but resurfaced later
and was recently sold to a private collector for two million dollars. Currently
it is on display at a museum in the United States.
Here is the web site
of the museum, which gives more details of the story. It turns out that to make
his discoveries, Archimedes had invented a method which had many features in common
with calculus; thus putting him about two thousand years ahead of his time.
