Heath T. A History of Greek Mathematics. Volume 2
Dover Publications, 1981. - 608 pages.

This Elibron Classics book is a facsimile reprint of a 1921 edition by the Clarendon Press, Oxford.

Historians of mathematics have, as a rule, given too little attention to Aristarchus of Samos. The reason is no doubt that he was an astronomer, and therefore it might be supposed that his work would have no sufficient interest for the mathematician. The Greeks knew better; they called him Aristarchus ' the mathematician', to distinguish him from the host of other Aristarchuses; he is also included by Vitruvius among the few great men who possessed an equally profound knowledge of all branches of science, geometry, astronomy, music, &c.
