ID: book-on-the-measurement-of-plane-and-spherical-figures

"Book on the Measurement of Plane and Spherical Figures" is a treatise attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes. Although it is often referred to, the most well-known writings by Archimedes related to measurement actually come from various manuscripts and texts containing his work on geometry and calculus. In these works, Archimedes explored methods for calculating areas, volumes, and surface areas of various geometric shapes, both two-dimensional (plane figures) and three-dimensional (spherical figures).
