What? It appears that one of Archimedes lost text has been found. It also appears that his mathematics were more advanced then most knew. Archimedes wrote The Method 2,200 years ago. Think where we could be today if the printing press had been invented earlier. No one could have stifled such wonderful knowledge. The loss of the library at Alexandria would not have been so great. I just wonder how many more of these text are out there.

“The Method, has special historical significance. It could be considered the earliest known work on calculus. ” http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20071006/mathtrek.asp
