Eratosthenes: Biography of a Great Thinker
Eratosthenes (c. 276 BC -- c.194 BC) was a Greek scholar nicknamed "Beta." This is because he was considered the second best in so many fields. Despite the dismissive nickname, Eratosthenes is still celebrated to this day for his significant contributions to math, astronomy, and geograph

Fluids, Buoyancy, and Archimedes' Principle
Archimedes is not just the owl from the Sword in the Stone. Although that's a sweet movie if you haven't seen it. He was also an old Greek dude who figured out a bunch of physics way before other people did. Some of this was discovered at bath time, so it has a lot to do with water, but do

Building the sphere of Archimedes
In his West London workshop, Michael Wright builds ancient mechanisms. In this Nature Video, we see his latest contraption, the Sphere of Archimedes. Based on little more than ancient Greek texts, Wright has built this speculative machine to models the movements of the planets.

Introduction to Geometry: Ancient Greece and the Pythagoreans
I have to tell you, Ancient Greece is my favorite era of history. Oh, how I wish I could have been there to philosophize with the greats! Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, plus all of the mathematicians, like Pythagoras. He loved math so much, he made a religion out of it! I mean it makes sense,

Mathematics and Physics have a rich and intricate history, going back at least to Pythagoras and Archimedes. In the last fifty years it has expanded in new directions but the future is uncertain. I propose to peer into the future using old ideas of Archimedes. We still have much to learn f

The very first and arguably most important calculation in Calculus was Archimedes' determination of the slice area of a parabola in terms of the area of a suitably inscribed triangle, involving the ratio 4/3. Remarkably, Archimedes' formula extends to the cubic case once we identify the ri
