Arquímedes

The pages of this volume tell the story of Archimedes, the great mathematician from ancient Greece who made decisive discoveries (such as the law of the lever) and devised ingenious inventions such as the catapult or the «Archimedes screw». The volume includes two illustrated annexes: one which explains Archimedes’ principle and the law of the lever and a second one showing the development of the Punic Wars across the Mediterranean.
