Works by Archimedes

"Works by Archimedes" refers to the collection of mathematical and scientific writings attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician and engineer Archimedes of Syracuse, who lived from approximately 287 to 212 BC. Archimedes is renowned for his contributions to mathematics, particularly in geometry, calculus, and the understanding of the principles of leverage, buoyancy, and hydrostatics.

"On Floating Bodies" is a work by the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes, who made significant contributions to mathematics, physics, and engineering. In this treatise, Archimedes explores the principles of buoyancy, specifically addressing how and why certain bodies float in liquids while others sink.

"On the Equilibrium of Planes" is a significant work by the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes, focusing on the principles of leverage and balance. Although the text is primarily concerned with the equilibrium of planes (flat surfaces), it lays the groundwork for our understanding of mechanics and the behavior of objects under external forces. In this work, Archimedes discusses the conditions under which a planar object will remain in balance or equilibrium when subjected to various forces.

The Method of Mechanical Theorems is a problem-solving technique used primarily in the fields of mechanics and mathematical physics. It typically involves the use of mechanical models to derive and analyze the behavior of physical systems. The method hinges on the application of principles from classical mechanics, such as energy conservation, momentum conservation, and other foundational laws governing the motion of objects.
