Reviel Netz, an historian of mathematics at Stanford University who transcribed the text, says that the examination of Archimedes' work has revealed "a new twist on the entire trajectory of Western mathematics."</blockquote> <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20071006/mathtrek.asp" title="http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20071006/mathtrek.asp">www.sciencenews.org</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><H2>A long-lost text by the ancient Greek mathematician shows that he had begun to discover the principles of calculus.</H2></div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/Kore7/512/1B2F7211-68BC-43D7-A67D-01C1728EF13F.jpg" alt="f8914_1623.jpg" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">The top layer of writing in this 700-year-old book describes Christian prayers.
