Published in 1921 and aimed at mathematicians and classicists, this rigorous two-volume work traces ancient Greek mathematics from Thales of Miletus to the achievements of the Alexandrian algebraists. The coverage in Volume 2 begins with Aristarchus of Samos and Archimedes, extending to the algebra of Diophantus of Alexandria.
