Theon of Smyrna Theon of Smyrna (Greek: Θέων ο Σμυρναίος "Theon o Smyrneos", "gen." Θέωνος "Theonos"; fl. 100 CE) was a Greek philosopher and mathematician, whose works were strongly influenced by the Pythagorean school of thought. His surviving "On Mathematics Useful for the Understanding of Plato" is an introductory survey of Greek mathematics.
On Floating Bodies On Floating Bodies (Greek: Περὶ τῶν ἐπιπλεόντων σωμάτων ) is a Greek-language work consisting of two books written by Archimedes of Syracuse (287 – c. 212 BC), one of the most important mathematicians, physicists, and engineers of antiquity. "On Floating Bodies", which is thought to have been written around 250 BC, survives only partly in Greek, the rest in medieval Latin translation from the Greek. It is the first known work on hydrostatics, of which Archimedes is recognized as the founder.
