NOVA
"Infinite Secrets"
Tuesday, September 30, 2003 (8-9:00 pm)
Twenty-two centuries after Archimedes wrote his most revealing
mathematical work, and eight centuries after a Christian monk
erased what may have been the last surviving copy, the lost
treatise has turned up and is being deciphered in a Baltimore
museum. This program reports the story of the manuscript's
amazing discovery and how modern technology is being used to
read its startling contents. (CC, Stereo, DVI)
At the companion site, learn more about Archimedes and his
profound impact on modern science and mathematics, learn more
about the important role that manuscripts can play in
archaeology, access a teacher's guide and more.
