| Popis: | The shining example for mathematicians of the 17th century was neither Euclid nor Apollonius nor Diophantus; it was Archimedes. Galilei talks of “divino Archimede” (Galilei 1890: 303) and Huygens’s father called his young son “mon petit Archimede” (Huygens 1889: 567) und not, for example, “mon petit Euclide”. Archimedes had solved problems of quadrature, which in the 17th century belonged to the most interesting problems, and he had used new methods in doing so. |
