About the author
Sir Thomas Little Heath
1861–1940
Best known for bringing the mathematics of ancient Greece into clear, readable English, this scholar made Euclid, Archimedes, and Apollonius far more accessible to modern readers. He balanced that lifelong scholarly work with a distinguished career in the British Civil Service.
