A History of Greek Mathematics

Sir Thomas Heath (1861 – 1940) was a British civil servant, mathematician, scholar, historian, translator, and mountaineer. He translated the works of Euclid of Alexandria, Apollonius of Perga, Aristarchus of Samos, and Archimedes into English. It is primarily through Heath’s translations that modern English-speaking readers are aware of Archimedes’ work. A history of Greek Mathematics was published in 1921.
