With such inventions as the compound pulley and the Archimedean screw he provided the foundation for the sciences of mechanics and hydrostatics. And his original work as a geometrician gave modern geometry many of its basic tools.

Jeanne Bendick, through text and pictures, manages to bring to life this famed mathematician who so influenced all later science.
