Product Description:
Part archaeological detective story, part science, and part history, The Archimedes Codex tells the astonishing story of a lost manuscript, from its tenth-century creation in ancient Constantinople to the auction block at Christie’s in New York, and how a team of scholars used the latest imaging technology to reveal and decipher the original text. What they found was the earliest surviving manuscript by Archimedes (287 BC?212 BC), the greatest mathematician of antiquity?a manuscript that established, for the first time, the extent of his mathematical genius, which was two thousand years ahead of modern science.
