阿基米德的著作，迄今发现的共有以下十一种：《论球和圆柱》《圆的度量》《论拟圆锥与旋转椭体》《论螺线》《论平面图形的平衡》《数沙者》《抛物线弓形求积》《论浮体》《引理汇编》《牛群问题》《方法》。
英国数学史家希思（Thomas Heath,1861—1940）在1897年翻译出版了前10种，1912年翻译出版了第11种，都是由剑桥大学出版社出版。今即将此二书合刊影印，而1897年版的书前有希思撰写的长篇“导读”，影印时不收。

阿基米德（前287年—前212年）：古希腊数学家、力学家，与高斯、牛顿并称为世界三大数学家。主要贡献为，系统总结了几何体表面积和体积的计算方法，发现了浮力定理、杠杆原理。
