The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z He could jury-rig the Archimedes sphere into some sort of flying device, maybe, but only if he had his tool belt—which he didn’t. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Early editions of Archimedes come with illustrations which show objects floating in a vast ocean of water, an ocean which stretches right around the globe, and Galileo drew such sketches in his own text.

The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z His insistence on being more precise than Archimedes goes back into his youth, when he had devised an instrument, the balincetta, which would make more exact measurements of specific gravities than any made before. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z Leo hit the buttons on the Archimedes sphere, muttered a prayer to his dad, Hephaestus, and the Celestial bronze console hummed to life. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z It was a cumbersome way of doing business, but it got the job done and went far beyond what Archimedes needed to solve his thought experiment. Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea 2000-02-07T00:00:00Z A Greek called Archimedes, Mr. Dunwoody said, worked out the correct place to put a tree and the horizon in any picture.

The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Archimedes, who had been standing forgotten on his shoulder all this time, was gently touching himself against him. The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z In an early unpublished text from the 1590s he sought to demonstrate that Archimedes’ principle, that a body floats when it displaces its own weight in water, is necessarily true. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z However, any mathematician of the day would have scoffed at this line of reasoning; Archimedes used the tools of the infinite, which were so expressly disallowed by his mathematical colleagues.

The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z But Archimedes got beyond this limitation by hitting the reset button. Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea 2000-02-07T00:00:00Z A similar but more classic calculation of this type was made by Archimedes, who estimated the number of grains of sand needed to fill up the earth and heavens. Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z According to Archimedes’ principle, if water were to occupy the volume of the block which is under water, that water would weigh the same as the whole block. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z Passalos glanced at the Archimedes sphere, which had rolled between Leo’s feet. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Archimedes refused, since his mathematical proof was not yet finished.

The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “It is true,” said Archimedes reflectively, “that all the corvidae have a distorted sense of humour.” The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z A few Earthborn launched a volley of rocks, but from the sides of the hull a dozen Archimedes spheres sprayed out, intercepting the boulders and blasting them to dust. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z “Archimedes has stayed with me since he was small, indeed since he had a tiny head like a chicken’s.” The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z Finally he spotted the Archimedes sphere—steaming and charred but still intact, making unhappy clicking noises in the center of the wreckage. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Even the brilliant Archimedes occasionally scorned the infinite along with his contemporaries. Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea 2000-02-07T00:00:00Z “We found one like this in Rome, in the workshop of Archimedes. If I can make it work, maybe I can find out what’s going on with my friends.” The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z The Romans poured through the city, but Archimedes was deaf to the panic around him. Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea 2000-02-07T00:00:00Z So were Archimedes and other rare geniuses of ancient times.

Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea 2000-02-07T00:00:00Z Archimedes’ principle is a limit case, not a universal principle. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z “No, it is not,” admitted the Wart “And what is your favourite bird?” asked Archimedes, feeling that his master ought to be allowed a say. The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z For Archimedes, while he was talking, was absent- mindedly spying for his dinner. The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z ‘The temperature,” said Archimedes, “depends on the vegetation of the bottom. Woods or weeds, they make it warm above them.” The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z It was incompatible with the teaching of Archimedes, who was available in Latin from the twelfth century, and argued that objects float only if they are lighter than the water they displace. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z He pulled out a second Archimedes sphere - the one he’d spent a whole thirty seconds modifying before they entered the stadium. Blood of Olympus 2014-10-07T00:00:00Z Then, for good measure, Leo turned the dial on his Archimedes sphere, which unleashed a plume of foul white fog that filled the room. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z Killing Archimedes was one of the biggest Roman contributions to mathematics.

An Abundance of Katherines 2006-09-21T00:00:00Z Regiomontanus and Galileo saw themselves as disciples of Archimedes. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z In what sense is this new thinking if Archimedes would have had no difficulty in understanding it? The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z To satisfy them, Archimedes also included a proof, based upon the accepted mathematics of the time, that relied upon the so-called axiom of Archimedes, although Archimedes himself mentioned that earlier mathematicians deserved the credit. Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea 2000-02-07T00:00:00Z Perhaps, given more time, Archimedes might have begun to see the lure of the infinite and of zero. Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea 2000-02-07T00:00:00Z The classic example of simultaneous discovery is Archimedes’ cry of ‘Eureka!’ The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z “The reasons are different,” said Archimedes, “yet the fact is true. But need we talk on the wing? I am getting tired.” The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z Archimedes’ proof by triangles was as close as you could come to the idea of limits—and calculus—without actually discovering them.

The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z This number was so large that the Greek system of numeration was unable to handle it; Archimedes had to invent a whole new method of denoting really huge numbers. Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea 2000-02-07T00:00:00Z “If friends do not matter to you, perhaps you need more incentive. Perhaps I should destroy these scrolls instead—priceless works by Archimedes!” The Mark of Athena 2012-10-02T00:00:00Z He spent hours fixing the Archimedes sphere, cleaning it and repairing its circuits. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “What are you doing?’’ asked the Wart Even as he asked, Archimedes was gone.

The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z “Assuredly,” said Mertyn, who stood patiently among the throng with his arms folded in his necromantic gown, while Archimedes sat very stiff and elongated on the top of his head. The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z It’s clear how the above property of numbers led to Archimedes’ famous pronouncement that given a fulcrum, a long enough lever, and a place to stand, he alone could physically lift the earth. Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z The nutty curved beak looked as it if were capable of doing damage, but Archimedes looked closely at the mouse, blinked at the Walt, moved nearer on the finger, dosed Ms eyes and leaned forward.

The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z Archimedes was married, and brought up several handsome families of quilly youngsters in the tower room. The Once and Future King 1958-01-01T00:00:00Z He had also set out to illustrate Archimedes’ principle in action, and as a consequence had discovered a further anomaly, that a weight of water could lift a weight greater than itself. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z The text of Archimedes had been available in Latin from the twelfth century, and had been first published in 1544. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z Wart sat down again on the floor, and Archimedes resumed his toilet, pulling his pinions and tail feathers through his beak to smooth the barbs together.

The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z And now he didn’t even have his tool belt or his Archimedes sphere. The House of Hades 2013-10-08T00:00:00Z We could equally say that Archimedes had recognized the implications of something he already knew—that he displaced water when he got into the bath. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z In later works Archimedes figured out the volumes of parabolas and circles, rotated around a line, which any math student knows are early homework problems in a calculus course.
